a difficult road at time but rewarding and get to work with talented people

Pros

valuable opportunity to impact the lives of those who need it the most, those suffering from chronic diseases and complications

Cons

the company really moves around leadership people into positions which they are not competent in, believing that because they're 'smart' that they can do anything...would be nice to go outside to get experts when the home grown folks don't really have the skillsets to perform on the vp/president level

Pros

Great people to work with Working with a company that improves and extends lives

Cons

Relies way too much on contractors ("temps). If you accept a contract position with Medtronic, be prepared to be exploited. They'll just renew the contract (if you're lucky) over and over until you reach your two year limit (per policy), then lay you off. New contractors are brought in, and the process repeats. As a contractor, you do not get their great benefits package, and you're not allowed to partake in most company functions (picnics, etc). Medronic has evolved from a place you typically stick with for life, to a revolving door of "temp" workers.
