Pros

** Notice there's bunch of short reviews starting with great xxxx. Understand HR department has a KPI to check these public review sites. And you can clearly see how even HR employees hate this company and make it obvious for you to see. If you are joining as executives , salary is promising

Cons

Recruiter and interviewers promised unrealistic future and once you started, you soon realize the whole thing is a lie. Literally bait and switch First , business is going downhill. In the last several years, they NEVER paid full amount of promised bonus. Not only that, in the year end review, management uses various excuses telling us no good rating is given out. Yearly salary increase is way below inflation rate. At the same time, our Executives just rewarded themselves double digit increase in compensation. Few years in, I'm spending more on commuting, earning less because of low bonus , low MIP . I also work much longer because new RTO push. Things are NEVER easy here. Not only development work but even day-to-day admin works, IT stuffs even securing office desk is a challenge.

Pros

The management team was largely out of touch which meant there was little oversight of my day-to-day work. I was largely left to do what I wanted.

Cons

The lack of management oversight and management being out of touch with what was going left lack of recognition of how under-resourced the business was. I was expected to do the workload of ~3 to 4 people in other companies I have worked in. There was no work/life balance. Dealt with bullies in the workplace. Those bullies were untouchable because they had been with the company for so many years. There is very little opportunity for advancement. Internal candidates within the regulatory group were continually passed over for advancement opportunities.

Pros

Great legacy and people across the world!

Cons

I’ve been at this company for 20yrs and have never seen such poor leadership. He’s going to run this company into the ground. Covidien was a horrible acquisition and destroyed both companies. Another layoff is ahead for this year and more amazing people will exit the company! Time for new leadership!!!! Geoff has no idea about the industry and tries to run this company like GE. Read the book “lights out” if you want to see the future of Medtronic.
