Pros

Free food for month end. Good "fresh out of college" job to get your foot in the door. That's about it.

Cons

The pay is terrible, and the bonus structure is a joke. With Medtronic being a multi -billion dollar Fortune 500 company that requires employees in this position to hold a Bachelor's degree, it is quite sad how little they are willing to compensate their employees. There is also favoritism, and the only way it seems that you will advance into a promotion is by gossiping all day with your supervisors. Little room for growth here even if you do get promoted. Get your experience, and then get out and find something that pays more and will offer room for growth, because you will not find that at Medtronic Diabetes. If you want to work long hours, receive little pay, and enjoy gossiping and forming cliques, then Medtronic Diabetes is the place for you.

Pros

Employees are part of the companies mission and the company does a good job of making employees feel included. It is a huge corporation with nice people and opportunity. knowing that you play the role in patients around the world with the medical technology is fulfilling.

Cons

As I stated in the Pros, the company is huge, but it is a con also as it causes issues when trying to navigate your professional career. HR is always busy and does not want to be bothered with helping employees develop. The company claims to be a strong advocate of developing employees yet you will not even be considered for interviews if you do not have extensive experience in the area of the position for which you are applying. Open job postings are listed to meet a requirement but a great deal of them are filled before they are even posted. Compensation is much lower than other companies in some areas.

Pros

Looks good on your resume, okay benefits, job security (I've seen them keep a ton of people who suck at their job and are lazy)

Cons

Management is terrible and completely disconnected from what their employees actually do. Way too much overlapping upper management, No work life balance, Lots of forced overtime and forced weekends with no warning, (sales team was just told today that we are expected to work at least 8 hours a day every single day for the rest of the year with only 1 day off for xmas) commission structure is impossible to follow, people rarely hit the target commission payouts because the quotas are ridiculously inflated.
