Pros

Mission statement demonstrates caring for the users of the products and the pursuit of high quality and reliability of the products. New management is ensuring DRM principles are being implemented at all facilities and are targeting new markets in Asia. The company is flexible with work hours as long as the objectives are being met.

Cons

Upper & middle management are risk averse due to compliance concerns of government regulations which is impacting company market share. Product development cycles are typically longer than 12-18 months and the company is chasing competitors instead of leading the market with new product innovation and cost reduced product in new market areas. Company focus appears to be on compliance and not innovation.

Pros

- Great, smart coworkers - Feel good about the value of the work you do on products that benefit patients, worldwide - Ethical behavior is the expectation - Certain office buildings are very nice with great amenities. - Great sense of pride in telling people you work for Medtronic - Salary and benefits toward the higher end of the scale - Medtronic looks good on a resume that will help you find a great job at another company

Cons

- Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs....Everyone is in angst from fiscal year to fiscal year wondering if the ax will swing for them. - Losing too many great coworkers due to limited career development opportunities within Medtronic and constant angst about potential layoffs - People are spread too thin over too many projects. Funds are spread too thin over too many projects. - Employees who are closest to customers and products and have extensive knowledge are very often left out of business planning and important decision-making - Insufficient support staff -- highly paid people wind up doing low-level tasks - At one time there were a few nice in-house professional development opportunities and some funds to attend courses external to the company. These seem to have gone by the wayside over the years.
