Pros

Medtronic has a great culture based on great people and great products. The company hires globally and attracts some of the best talent. The company's mission is based around the patients and for the most part that provides great satisfaction working for the company.

Cons

Inconsistent promotion patterns, limited upward mobility for many. Topline growth slowing due to size and competitive forces. The company is very quarter results driven.
