Pros

Great products that are life enhancers for so many clients. Global business, and great research into the products they launch.

Product recalls and weak HR staff that permit overzealous Managers to bully and 'force out' staff that question any decision

What kills all companies - short sighted decision making.

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Good marketing team with highly skilled people. They had a great understanding of customer issues. Training department is very well run. Inside people care about the quality of their work.

Cons

Local manager's priorities are not in line with Medtronic's mission. They make short sighted decisions. Much political infighting in the field which will not serve the customers best interest. Mid level managers are unaware of first line managers decisions and ramifications. Maybe it's unique to Medtronic's mid level management teams. Other co-workers and employees have commented that they are in it for themselves and there's no sense of teamwork.
