Pros

The size of the company has allowed for investments in new exciting ground-breaking technologies. The people are amazing at Medtronic and truly what makes it a great company to work for. The Mission is something that everyone believes in and focuses on in their day-to-day work.

Cons

Geoff Martha, new CEO, is going to run this once amazing company into the ground! His decisions have hurt the organization and the people. Since he's been at the helm, the culture has become toxic. They don't worry about their employees and it's a shame. He has cut so many talented people and is losing thousands of years of tribal knowledge by making hasty cuts across the board regardless of the person's experience or performance. The downside to being at the world's largest medical device company is that we are just a number.

Pros

Medtronic is one of the best companies to provide medical products in the world. They have great benefits and mostly good work ethics.

Cons

I created an unparalleled method to test and diagnose issues for the development of a large scale medical device. During this process my group had mandatory Saturdays. Above and beyond that regularly worked from home after hours, Sundays etc. Upon time for annual review any and all negativity was pin pointed, over done, focused upon. All extra effort not even mentioned. Boss hired friends, relatives, friends of relatives, relatives of his boss, friends of his boss even if they were unqualified and all got great reviews. This man was eternally pissed off, would even shout "I'm pissed off" from his cubicle, I was reprimanded for being too happy. I was reprimanded for emailing my ex-boss. Couldn't look him in the eye after that and he eventually fired me from Senior VnV Engineer position then called the police after I quietly walked out.

Pros

The mission to improve access to healthcare globally is something we are all very proud to work hard toward achieving. Great people, fun atmosphere, big city salaries in the North Bay. The CEO is fantastic - he is a very clear communicator of the mission and is truly dedicating his life to achieving it.

Cons

A lot of reorganizations and constant changes to the focus, mainly due to a lot of acquisitions - which is great, but makes it tough to know what your future looks like. I've had 3 roles in less than 3 years.
