Business Outlook

Pros

Focused on mission. Competitive in the market at some positions, locations, etc. Pockets of excellence throughout the company.

Cons

Driven at times only by schedule/budget (shareholder delight) instead of focusing on the mission, the values, and the patient. Leveling across positions is not good, some engineers with 15 years experience and only at entry level positions (high output engineers, not laggards) due to policies, eduction, or management fear of their talents (this is not a large problem, just noticed at multiple facilities with selected people - most people recognize the issue right away with the individuals referenced). Leadership (management, program leadership and management) is frequently risk averse in many areas. Breakthrough cannot happen because it is not allowed to happen. Quite sure there are people that are working at fixing this issue.

Rewarding cause, political atmosphere.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Benefits, Bonus Structure. Corporate culture is strong and it is a company that is satisfying to work for, knowing you are contributing to the health and well being of society. Corporate benefits are great, business units not in the MNLPS area do not receive as many "perks" as employees in MN receive. (Gym, banking, concierge service, etc.)

Cons

Corporate vs. Business Units. vs. Global. If you are able to navigate between all three and keep your primary objective satisfied, you will do well. If you are unable to keep your eye on all three and understand how the different stakeholders will influence your work, you may have a difficult go of it.
