Medtronic reviews

Executive leadership cares more about touting their ID&E agenda than improving product quality and taking care of the employees actually doing the work (evidenced by the recent layoffs in April 2023 - few or no upper level management staff were let go). The Company espouses diversity, but then assigns mandatory career goals for all employees. In addition, Company also has a mandatory shut down for about 8 days over Christmas/New Years, but you have to use 3-5 days of PTO to cover the days.

1. Toxic, bureaucratic and political environment make it impossible and painful to get anything done. Nobody takes any accountability, so nothing ever gets done or changes. As others have said here, bullies remain in positions of power, even after multiple reports to management and HR. 2. Horribly incompetent senior leaders that make one short-sighted decision after another, which results in constantly-shifting priorities. Meanwhile, the folks on the ground have to change gears every few months to follow a new strategy and still have to clean up the resulting messes from prior bad decisions. 3. Benefits are decent, but monetary compensation is awful, especially when folks work overtime so often. 4. Senior leaders attempt to solve problems by just throwing more money or low-quality contractors at them, instead of getting to the root issues. This only creates more problems down the road for the full-time employees.
