Pros

I would give Medtronic a 4.5 if there was an option. The benefits cannot be beat. They value work / life balance. If you work at it, there are opportunities for all levels of advancement. They really do try to fix problems when they arise. Great values. Networking and activity groups for everyone (women, LGTB, Asian, Black...). They do not tolerate cheating. Period. Great place to be an honest sales person.

Cons

It's a huge company, so it is difficult to get answers quickly and, unfortunately, when it comes to discrepancy in pay. They require that you log HR employee pay tickets, which is different from a plan HR ticket. Also close to impossible to get IT issues fixed for the same reason. The annual review process, also all on line, is weird and not easy to follow.

Pros

The Insulin Pump and products that go along with it are great to help customers who need it to manage their Diabetes. The technology is a great tool to help those living with this disease live as normal of a life as possible.

Cons

I process orders to get supplies to the customers. There just is no standard as to do the best quality job to get the customers their product. The company values quantity over quality every time. They have meetings that give great speeches to try and motivate the workers and give reports that make it seem as though the workers are doing a great job. Then when they have smaller team meeting the supervisors and leads tell their teams that they are not doing as well as they would like. They always contradict themselves everyday it seems. The people who are meeting their metric numbers are seen as doing a great job even though they may not be doing the quality work that every order deserves. If you are below the metric numbers, no matter the reason or high quality of your work, it is seen as doing a poor job. The company is so set it it's ways that when a problem is pointed out with evidence, it just gets looked over. You have to really compromise yourself when your do this job sometimes. It doesn't matter that you do quality work, what matters is making more money by getting products to the customers by any means.

Pros

I've been a full-time employee at Medtronic for about three to four years. It is an extremely busy working environment and a lot of very talented people.

Cons

There have been quite a bit of people leaving our facility and not being replaced. This has caused moral to drop tremendously due to the people being left behind having to pick up the extra work, which has in turn caused more people to leave. Having said that they do not compensate the employees for the increased workload's and for the most part you only get about a 2% raise per year which does not keep up with the cost-of-living. And to add insult to injury they just started laying people off as well.
