Pretty good all around, but slow and political.

Business Outlook

Pros

career growth opptys, decent quality of facilities for employees to take advantage of, work life balance isn't too bad. Good mission.

Cons

Medtronic has become very big and slow to make decisions. Senior management of business units are slow to change the culture. Frustrating place to try to get things done, as decision making authority is held high in the org, and it's not clear WHO can make decisions.

Great Company with Great Benefits. Loyalty is a sure thing of the past

Business Outlook

Pros

Great medical benefits, tuition reimbursement is 7K for undergraduate and 10k for graduate level employees. 401K match is up to 6%, Salary is competitive. Annual bonuses are contingent upon how your business unit performs for the fiscal year. If targets are reached, then you can actually receive more that your incentive target based on your performance evaluation as well. Free coffee, tea, hot cocoa. Every Wednesday, bagels, fresh fruit and donuts are provided. Company meetings are usually held over the lunch hour and are catered

Cons

We're in uncertain times, so of course Medtronic has to look out for their bottom line and if that means trimming some fat, then they're going to do so. Communication is lacking from senior management. Over the last year, many of the employees have found out about significant changes in the company through the rumor mill faster than from any management source.
