Beware of Infiltrating Covidien Culture

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company with ability to move to other divisions. Corporate culture is geared toward health and wellness of employees. Customer-centric. Well respected brand among the medical device community and customers.

Cons

There's more opportunity in some divisions than others. The legacy Covidien culture is very different from legacy Medtronic. Emotion intelligence among management is severely lacking. Lots of layers in a matrixed organization with a lot of politics. Advancement is achieved through politicking and not necessarily skill or experience. The new CEO is numbers-oriented and less focused on fostering a culture of openness, diversity, empowerment of others and work/life balance. Layoffs occur every couple of years.

Great company but silos, politics and team level dynamics overshadow enterprise benefits.

Senior marketing manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working in a business that is focused on improving patient lives is a very rewarding work environment. Corporate level initiatives provide great development opportunities and there are career paths available if you're willing to shift discipline or focus area.

Cons

Highly silo'd organization. Digital capabilities are lagging and plagued by previously mentioned silo's and politics that impact alignment, budget availability and ability to do meaningful work. Your manager and/or functional/org structure determines the majority of your work experience - interview them as much as they interview you. Ask about their engagement scores, as several Groups/Functions have consistently scored low in collaboration, leadership and ability to get work done. Interview your manager on their engagement scores, character/style and then the rest of the interview team to validate your findings. The organization has little loyalty to its employees as seen in consistent use of reductions to balance their finances, re-organize or eliminate people/roles/functions so be cautious of false job security as I saw meaningful teams eliminated and HiPo individuals moved out rather than strategically moved into other roles.
