Pros

medtronic is very well respected by our hospital and physician customers. The amount of training that is provided is first class. If you put in the time and effort you will be rewarded with pay increases,promotions, and stock options.

Cons

The CRM division has had a hiring freeze for over a year. It takes at least 14 months to train a highly motivated new employee. We can't seem to be able to keep employees in our district for more than 2 years. They all get burned out and quit or go and work for the competition. The company was built on non-revenue service. This worked for a long time, but with the flat and negative market growth in devices the service expectations keep going up but the hospitals keep demanding more and more price cuts. Medtronic has not offered solutions or policies to help support the field with this problem.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Decent work life balance.

Cons

Lack of strong senior leadership and strategic direction. Way too much focus on bottom line and no long term vision. Layoffs have been demotivating and have cut a lot of talent. Disconnect between leadership and other employees.

Pros

Great people to work with Working with a company that improves and extends lives

Cons

Relies way too much on contractors ("temps). If you accept a contract position with Medtronic, be prepared to be exploited. They'll just renew the contract (if you're lucky) over and over until you reach your two year limit (per policy), then lay you off. New contractors are brought in, and the process repeats. As a contractor, you do not get their great benefits package, and you're not allowed to partake in most company functions (picnics, etc). Medronic has evolved from a place you typically stick with for life, to a revolving door of "temp" workers.
