Medtronic - A decent company with challenges to overcome

human resources manager

Business Outlook

Pros

I would have to say the mission.

Cons

There was a lot of executive turnover during 2006 and the production was suspended for a while which really affected employee morale and led to lay offs.

Mission-driven by a phenomenal workforce

Pros

The dedication of Medtronic's employees to the company's mission can only be explained as cult-like. The basic tenets of the mission - Alleviating Pain, Restoring Health, Extending Life - have been in place for nearly 50 years, and decisions within the company are made daily with a keen eye toward them. There aren't many places that a person can work and feel like they are making a significant contribution to the health and welfare of people around the world. Functionally, the company is solidly dedicated to using technology to enable collaboration, data-driven decision making, and even work-life balance. Finally, Medtronic and its people are solid leaders in the community, contributing significantly of their time, effort, and sponsorship to health and educational initiatives.

Cons

Like many large companies, the bureaucracy can be stifling at times. Despite efforts at reducing them, there are still too many meetings with too many unnecessary stakeholders in attendance. Decision-making in this environment can be challenging. It also results in most of my own deliverable work being performed in the evenings instead of during the workday. While the company is dedicated to the continuing development of its workforce at all levels, I often feel like I don't have enough time to dedicate to developing my own people, much less myself.

Ok place to work but boring

Pros

Very nice colleagues. Most of the management was ok. Everything is by the book at all times so you always know what you're meant to be doing. Good work-life balance - anticipated overtime was shared out fairly. You could take overtime as money or time in lieu which was great.

Cons

Very boring and repetitive work. You didn't really need to think.
