Pros

Sterling Industry Reputation for Innovation, Largest & Most Respected pure play Medical Device company in the Industry. Lots of resources and 'book smart' people. Work life Balance is strong here-- definitely a 8-5pm culture. If you're an engineer your path is paved in Gold-- It's all about Product development & its all about the new product launch culture mindset. The Best Medical Device industry Résumé Builder you can have bar none.

Cons

Not open to divergent view points, GROUPTHINK is alive and well here, Limited promotion opportunities. Not results driven culture, Go along to get along-- 'Closed' Minnessota mindset-- healthy distrust for anyone/anybody not from tri-state Minnesota area. Non-US based International & Global persons that are talented eventually leave or are forced out due to limited opportunities or bad cultural fit. Because Neuromodoluation makes up less than 11% of revenues BIG Brother MDT Corporation (CRDM is #1 division that commercializes pacemakers).. leaves day to day management to sub par neuromod leaders that focus on kicking the can down the road into a skillful art. HR encourages office Pollitics and are rampant and wild more than most. Because of go along to get along culture Pink Slips for malcontents go out 2-3 times per year as a "right sizing or layoff-- new & similar job descriptions are launched almost overnight to replace the just laidoff associates. Sales misses their internal number 4+ years in a row but finance allways manages to back into things to still meet their internal earnings expectations for big brother MDT & wallstreet so key Neuromodualtion execs get their bonus checks every year.

Pros

The company provides a great development environment, growth and new opportunities are encouraged across the organization. Employees are encouraged to create a development plan and identify where they want to go next within the organization. Management is very flexible and it is very easy to maintain proper work/life balance. The benefits package is very competitive in the industry and the location. Salaries are fair and the bonus structure is very generous.

Cons

Change takes time in the organization however management is committed to change and is transparent when it comes to organizational changes.
