Pros

-Top company with high respect and value -Amazing opportunity for growth -Ability to move between different divisions all over the country -Good compensation package -Opportunity for visibility to senior management

Cons

-While good opportunity for growth, they tend to reward groups of people as opposed to individuals (years of service vs individual achievements) -Work structure changes every 6-12 months -Tendency to change your position/manager multiple times over your career (I have had 8 different managers in 5 years) -Conflicts between different groups within the company, makes working together difficult

Great place to work if you're profesionally well-connected, and went to a big-name graduate school.

Pros

Medtronic employs a lot of really bright people in all of their functions. It feels good to work for a company that's improving the lives and health of so many people around the world.

Cons

People with degrees from big-name schools seem to float to the top effortlessly. Hard work is not always recognized or appreciated. Work-life balance is not a priority. Many managers are unwilling or ill-equipped to guide their employees to success. HR is of little to no use to the average employee, if they have an issue they need to work out. Employee morale has suffered terribly after three successive years of layoffs.
