Pros

Medtronic has a wonderful reputation with the products it produces and as an employer in the Twin Cities. It's mission is alive and as strong as when it was created more than 50 years ago.

Cons

Medtronic has a very political environment, as many large companies do. A recent push to practice management defined core competencies was great on paper, but not well tolerated by the very leaders that wrote it. Especially candor.

Great place to work with a few bad (management) apples!

Business Outlook

Pros

Personal satisfaction of knowing that your work is helping others and saving lives. Personal and professional growth. Great salary potential and bonus program. Great benefits. Medtronic is an early adopter of new technology for its employees (ipad, cell phones, etc).

Cons

It is a very large company and at times it is hard to gather momentum for positive changes forward. Sometimes they kept doing the same things over and over - until they got bypassed by the competition or the FDA tells them to change. Can be very political at times. Feels like they have to develop/design everything in house - very limited in bringing in (hiring) outside expertise. For example, when looking at bringing in people for new technologies (wireless, mobile applications, etc) the demand medical expertise instead of the specific technology expertise. At times it appears that there is more management positions than there are worker-bees.
