Good paying industry. Able to move within the company and change function.

Medtronic on resume: check it off! Onto better challenge!

Business Outlook

Pros

The prestige of working for a leading medical device organization. I always bought in to the corporate mission; it felt good to be part of that.

Cons

It appears to be highly dependent on the division you are in. The division I was in was poorly managed with fluctuating direction that made it difficult to meet targets. Annual reorganizations cultivated an overpoliticized environment that challenged deliverables. "Talent development" was all talk, no action. Seniority and experience were not valued or rewarded. Lack of long-term (and short-term) strategic planning resulted in "project/product du jour" which does not foster a sustainable revenue stream.

Pros

Good company, solid cash flow. Fairly stable industry to work in. Good opportunity to advance, and the benefits are good as well. Although there are some layoffs coming up, in general, it is pretty secure. There are lots of bright, hardworking people at Medtronic, and people really seem to have a sense of accomplishment. Strong performance is generally recognized, and rewarded. It is a great company to have on your resume as well, and people are generally able to recognize the company name, no matter what industry they happen to work in. Plus, the company is sixty plus years old, and that gives some idea that they will be around for a long time.

Cons

Not too many. Because it is such a large company, sometimes you can feel a little lost in the shuffle.
