I know at the end of the day I have made a difference in someone's life in a very meaningful way.

Pros

Benefits package; recognition for all of the above and beyond; extremely large global company, so lots of opportunities to advance and try new things that you find interesting; personally have been blessed to be part of a very driven team and have had 4 managers (direct and indirect) that could not be any better-they will go to bat for their employees. Our mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life has remained unchanged in 50 plus years, and as a company we are able to have a positive impact on exponential levels.

Cons

Worst con in my present position is that all of my patients have my personal cell, so that can be a real challenge sometimes. Very unpredictable schedule and often have very long days and more work when you get home-very hard to attain a positive work-life balance

Politics & Greed Leading to Sloppy/Dangerous Mistakes

Pros

Medtronic definitely has been cutting-edge in the past. They are leaders in several fields & therapies. Their QMS is pretty organized/streamlined.

Cons

The higher-ups step on the backs of people underneath them. Contractors do a huge amount of the work, but managers and directors take the credit for the work. Often, the contractors are brutally cut loose as soon as Medtronic can't benefit any further. More grievously, Medtronic has, on occasion, completely disregarded directives from governing bodies/competent authorities. They pushed for the implant of their cancerous Bone Morphogenic Protein (Infuse/BMP) 7 weeks prior to receiving permission from the FDA (search MAUDE for FDA Report MW5038624). Medtronic has stopped caring about patients and customers and is driven by an irrational addiction to increasing market share. I see Medtronic going the way of Enron & Bear Stearns.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive company with a broad range of products and many career opportunities. Well established in Healthcare system. Leader and respected in the market with share in almost every major medical device class.

Cons

No loyalty to long term employees. Corporate leadership does not care about the employees. Even though the company touts that they are a top employer, There is no job security and they will cut you without notice or reason in order to make the bottom line. Reorganization occurs regularly and employees and families come last.
