It was kind of a let down

Quality control associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They are a well-known company and do some great work there.

Cons

Unless you are a technician or above they treat you like crap. Quality control departments and production workers are given the short end of the stick.

Welcome to GE

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits are competitive. There were a lot of good people before they were let go or left on their own.

Cons

Medtronic is no longer a mission-driven company with the patient in mind, it is a shareholder driven company that is taking the same mentality as GE to become a dividend stock. The good people and VPs are being let go, while investment banker VPs without any technical competency are making decisions based solely on spreadsheets. There is so much red tape and bureaucracy, Medtronic will never be able to make changes or add new products before competitors. It is difficult to do the right thing with all the procedures and policies. If you just want nothing but a paycheck this is the place for you, but if you want to grow and learn, go somewhere else.

Extraordinarily good benefits and great co-workers.

A leadership that has lost its way and veered away from a great mission to focus only on the financial results for the next quarter.
