The company has changed it's focus to numbers obtained at any cost...burn and churn employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The company succeeds despite itself. Well respected name. Ample resources. Offer excellent benefits and opportunity for upper movement due to the high turnover of managers

Cons

Communication from the home office to the field poor. Mgmt not in tune with the environment or reality of day to day operations. Sadly, it is perceived by customers as an arrogant company...knowing what the customer needs...versus asking the customer. Recent gains by the competition has put the company in a tailspin unable to effectively compete having "owned" this market foe so long

End of the Mission? End of Growth?

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart People Hard working team members Good Benefits Good name for resume Dedicated employees Pockets of good management Competitive pay Mission

Cons

No growth Turning into a commodity business, and Medtronic does not have a competitive advantage-not number one in quality, not lowest price, not best/easiest customer service.. Layoffs every year since 2006 Lack of clear direction HR policies change all the time with no notice Spends many millions of dollars on dinners, charitable outings (golf tournaments), and other events for doctors--money that could be used to brand Medtronic, develop new products, improve quality, etc... Many employees think that the mission is "dead"
