Decent company with some persistent issues -- young superstars look elsewhere

Senior electrical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability of work environment, stability of the industry. A good company if you want to stay until retirement. Good benefits. Satisfaction (or at least, lack of guilt) that comes from producing products that improve, or save, people's lives.

Cons

A stifling regulatory environment that hugely increases administrative overhead. Doing engineering work here is like wading through waist high mud. Not a place for technical superstars; predictability and conformance are rewarded while outstanding technical efforts are too often left unrecognized. This is not a place where an engineer is going to make a splash right out of college; many years of experience are needed to sufficiently understand the products, usage, and regulatory environment.

Strong company, good place to work, but don't expect things to move quickly.

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Medtronic has a strong culture and high morale among its workers. They treat the employees with respect. People seemed genuinely enthusiastic about fulfilling the Medtronic Mission, meaning that employees want what's best for the patients. The work environment is relaxed and trusting. There is decent collaboration between the business units.

Cons

The decision-making process can be mind-numbingly slow. Medtronic's culture requires building consensus, and that seems to take far long than it should. Medtronic is also a risk-averse company, so many of the innovations are made by smaller, more agile competitors. There is a lot of bureaucracy, so forms abound. Also, being in the medical industry means dealing with government regulators, foreign and domestic, which can be trying.

High product quality and personal development are key to Medtronic's mission

Clinical research specialist

Business Outlook

Pros

Medtronic does a tremendous job of promoting employee development and utilizing the talents of the individuals in the employ. Not only do they encourage growth within your current job function, but they help you plan for future jobs/functions and connect you with employees in other functions/business units so that you can explore your options. The corporate and managerial support for growth and development is amazing.

Cons

I can't think of anything specific to Medtronic, but it is industry and with that go a lot more SOPs and 'steps' that need to be taken. But again, that speaks to the quality effort so I really can't consider it a downside.
