Too few resources on projects and stingy travel policy

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, satisfying work

Cons

Too few people that do my job on the project. Resources get spread VERY thin. Their it integration and support sucks. HR only quotes the policy manual and doesn't really support employees. Finally, their travel policy sucks - you have per meal limits, but if you spend less on one, you can't use that to balance against another meal - and no market adjustment. Same limits in NYC as in Dubuque...and no adjusting for currency internationally. They also don't allow business class for anybody but the executives. Even on 10+ hour flights. at least as Covidien we could do that. Travel policy was one of the few intangibles that made it worthwhile. especially since now we have to burn our vacation time over the Christmas holiday or go unpaid at the end of the year because they "close shop." Yeah, merry ducking Christmas there... T Honestly can't recommend people sign up until they fix some of the beefs. Still, you could do worse... A LOT worse, so maybe I'm just nitpicking...

Pros

In my experience, Medtronic has been a great company to work for. Sense of Mission shared from the top down Salary is competitive. Plenty of opportunities to grow and work on cross functional teams. Departments are not compartmentalized (alot of collaboration)

Cons

With the acquisition of Covidien benefits have suffered a bit, to be expected (company doubled in size.)
