Pros

As a large company, Medtronic has lots of opportunities for advancement and for training. The culture of helping patients improve their quality of life through the use of medical devices really drives the culture and everyone is very focused on delivering high quality products

Cons

As a large conservative company it is very difficult for them to change directions quickly to keep up with the changing times (as most large companies).

Once a great culture losing its way because of cost cutting mentality

Pros

- Flexible workplace - Health fund packaged

Cons

- Constant restructuring serving no purpose. People are let go and a few months later roles are hired for same positions with less capable employees. - Senior leadership promoted before they are ready. For example, lacking people skills, and business acumen. - Weak HR team. Feedback in reviews not followed up. Poor performers and managers with poor people skills are never confronted nor is feedback actioned.
