Pros

Extremely valuable and rewarding work to improve the health and lives of HCPs and patients while earning excellent pay and benefits.

Cons

From the time of Covidien acquisition to May 2021, and amidst the confusion of flailing and drowning in a seeming infinitely layered and chaotic bureaucracy, progress was almost impossible, agility just out of reach and innovation nothing more than a lovely ideal. As Martha confirms, the growth was not commensurate with our position as a leader in the market. QOL outside of Medtronic was greatly diminished by insanely demanding traveling pace and hefty responsibilities. Work-life balance was not possible in the mastery of this role, despite the lip service continually given to the topic. The real culture was: if your personal life did not allow you to devote ALL of your time and effort to MDT and the myriad projects you were involved with simultaneously, there were negative consequences.

Pros

Great benefits. Large company (international) as a whole seems to really care for and provide for employees.

Cons

Boulder branch management is atrocious. Will not listen to subordinates, even when presented evidence by entire maintenance staff that proposed plans will not work. Evaluated by how long you spend repairing machines (longer is better), not by how well you do at it. This translates to having to work more and more as you get better at your job to stand even with junior new hires who do not know the job yet and take too long at repairs.

Pros

Team collaboration is great. Flexibility (sometimes) with hours. Remote work.

Cons

Severe Micromanagement. Not enough transparency. Favoritism. Knowledge share from upper management severely lacking
