Pros

Like many biotech firms, Medtronic offers very good medical benefits. They also offer educational incentives and Lean Sigma training. Over all, the incentives they offer are much stronger than the average.

Cons

Pay is not up to par of industry standards. Some managers have significant influence and are micromanagers, lowering over all productivity. Also, educational incentives are offered but are hard to get approval for.

Pros

Lots of very interesting and talented people, amazing devices. It's possible to see a direct impact on the lives of people who need those devices.

Cons

As is the case with every corporation, your experience depends on your manager. In "the old days," a fair amount of effort was put into performance evaluations, and part of that assessment was a "360 degree evaluation." People all around you were asked to briefly describe their experience with you. That type of evaluation has disappeared, and trying to get the word out about a bad manager is a lengthy and largely ineffective process.
