Pros

- Great benefits package, especially medical insurance - somewhat flexible with your hours - 401K and pension In general, I liked working at Medtronic, and would like it more if their salary was more competitive since the pay is great. Sometimes it feels like upper management makes all the decisions and others don't get much of a say.

Cons

- Parking lot very crowded, need a structure - pay is not competitive - cafeteria food is not very good - very hard to get career advancement - HR has slow turnaround

Business Outlook

Pros

Medtronic has a wonderful reputation with the products it produces and as an employer in the Twin Cities. It's mission is alive and as strong as when it was created more than 50 years ago.

Cons

Medtronic has a very political environment, as many large companies do. A recent push to practice management defined core competencies was great on paper, but not well tolerated by the very leaders that wrote it. Especially candor.
