So Sad for Medtronic

Quality

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent facilities and benefits. Great history and products. Generally most staff and coworkers want to do the right thing.

Cons

This is now a company that bit off way more than it can chew. The origins of the company are fading fast and the new GE style of management is further killing the founder's dream. They could barely manage 40,000 staff and now have twice that many. Typical behaviors of unnecessary layoffs, poor managers/directors, loss of vital talent, nonexistent communication, and unnecessary complex and bureaucratic procedures.

So many people achieving so little..

Business Outlook

Pros

A place you can hide and pull a pay-check without being noticed – if that’s what you want… Benefits are OK – although there is a strong hierarchical approach, and you need to be in a senior role to get the good compensation.

Cons

No decision-making, just endless ‘stakeholder management’ consuming time and sucking your will to live. If you like sitting in meetings with no conclusion– this is the place to be. Matrix organisation means there is no clear leadership, and direction is set by various people who are all working towards their own personal agenda. Senior leadership all on ex-pat assignment, so no long term strategy that doesn’t reward in the short term is entertained.
