      Very politically driven environment

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is capped but good if you can hit plan. The benefits are very good. If you get a good manager and are skilled at playing political games, then you have a chance to get in line for management opportunities.

      Cons

      If you attain a sales goal, expect that to increas20-30% even if the national market placehas only increase 5-10%. Very politicaly driven. Company is becoming more known for paying physicians for their business (just google it).

      Marketing at Medtronic Cardiovascular

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      One of the best reasons to work for Medtronic Cardiovascular is that most people here really live by the company mission to help patients by developing and commercializing the best medical devices. Another reason is the opportunity to work with and learn from a great group of people - highly intelligent, accomplished, motivated and fun.

      Cons

      Like any large corporation, there is bureaucracy and it make take a long time for the company to enact a decision.

      Medtronic is following GM's footsteps

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) The frontline engineers and staff are very smart and helpful. 2) The product it makes, implantable medical devices, helps people in need. 3) I've made some of my best friends at Medtronic. 4) People will go out of their way to help you. 5) Until the layoffs and cutbacks and rank-n-yank started four years ago, you could do some really cutting edge work.

      Cons

      1) Middle Management has been so disempowered that they are reduced to being messenger boys and girls for top management. 2) Top management is cold, two-faced, and uses a management model of ante-bellum southern plantation owners. They never lead from the front and make the front line people pay for their mistakes with layoffs. 3) Over 4 years of layoffs 20% of the workforce, 3000 people are gone. I have yet to see a manager get laid off, let alone 20% of the managers. 4) The leadership of the place is like tenured professors. They think they know it all. That is true in the sense they knew the state of the art 20 years ago. They stopped listening altogether since then. 5) The organization has lost so many good people it has reached a tipping point.
