Good company with lots of politics

Software engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The Medtronic mindset is at the fore front of everything they do. They live by their motto and truly care about their end customers

Cons

Internally there is a toxic culture when it comes to discussing pay/compensation with management. Conversations related to promotions or higher compensation will be pushed under the rug and can take months or even years to finally come through. They would rather hire external candidates then promote within.

Poor leadership within MDT Diabetes

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

fellow engineers at entry and mid level are great to work with and generally very talented plenty of engaging engineering work to be done

Cons

leadership was absent or toxic at best, definitely a "boy's club" where if you stay long enough you are rewarded, even if your group has high turnover because of poor management

Business Outlook

Pros

When it's good, it's really good. Right now, due to leadership, it is very bad.

Cons

Every year, the incentive plan is restructured to require more work and pay employees less. Expectations go up and pay goes down. I am grateful that I got out when I did, it felt like the last chopper out of Saigon.
