Medtronic reviews

Your fate depends on what division you are in. Service is a bit of a mess, run by an old boy network that prefers the idea that management means being an overlord requiring everyone in the office so they can look around and see who's there. So much for flexibility for employees. They try to pay as little as possible, and raises are 2% for well-performing employees. CEO acts like every other uber-corporate CEO instead of the leader of a medical device company with Bakken's vision and principles. You want to get promoted? You first have to do the job at your current pay for a long time. The new benefits package switched from Blue Cross to Cigna. In terms of information technology, Medtronic is still in 2000.

I will start by clarifying my review is strictly for the Neurovascular division based in Irvine, CA. Medtronic is an industry leader in medical devices, which I feel is not fair if I did not distinguish between corporate Medtronic with the acquisition of the legacy business that became present day Neurovascular division. Neurovascular division is suffering under incompetent management. The incompetent management is responsible for the alarming high turn over rate of employees at this site. They do not care about morale nor work life balance of employees. I've also witnessed one of the most extreme cases of nepotism at this site.
