Pros

Good work life balance, summer hours (work until noon on Fridays). That is why I stay....

Cons

Leadership is awful. Two of my managers went through ethics investigations (and a third should have!). It starts at the top. There have been rounds and rounds of layoffs and there are more coming, especially in IT (due to the "transformation"). I would stay away from Medtronic - and also tell friends and family members to avoid using Medtronic devices until things stabilize! It is heartbreaking and Earl Bakken (the founder) would be disgusted.

Pros

Once a great place to work prior to 2020

Cons

In last 3 years there have been 3 CIO's and 3 Global reorganizations. You think you are safe after one change and then they reorganize again 6 months later and RIF those people. It's such a shame where the CFO and CIO(s) have taken this company.

15 months, three different managers, disparity between company goals and actions

Pros

The comp is pretty good and the people are friendly.

Cons

At the time, the company was claiming as a goal to be "the leading medical technology company" while also not requiring vaccines for COVID-19 to return to the office. Management moved to have everyone return to the office for a few days a week, but with no requirements for vaccination, or any other non-medical interventions. I asked if I would be able to stay fully remote given that everyone I work with is out of state and was told no, without any reason given. I also was hired by one manager who knew that I would be moved to another team within three months, did not tell me this during the interview process, and was then moved to another manager eight months later.
