Getting worse every year

Pros

Good benefits and work life balance

Cons

Medtronic unfortunately has stopped innovating and only buys out other companies now. We have perks cut and layoffs every year. The only way they keep their share prices up are to cut costs and headcount. Leadership cuts corners just to get products to market faster. Still a decent company to work for but it will only go downhill in the future.

Pros

The flexibility of when we show up is fantastic. You can arrive at any time you want, as long as it’s the exact time management had in mind but didn’t bother to communicate.

Cons

Management and supervision at this company are profoundly incompetent. The people in charge lack even a basic understanding of the work they are supposedly overseeing, which leads them to invent arbitrary, inconsistent rules that actively obstruct productivity rather than support it. There is no meaningful mentorship, no strategic direction, and no investment in employee development. Career growth is effectively nonexistent; staying here means stagnation. If you’re looking to learn, advance, or be led by people who actually understand the job, this is not the place.
