Right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Nominally priced medical insurance. Most departments offer tons of OT if you want it. Good area to work in. Quarterly/yearly bonuses for sales/processing teams. Yearly bonuses for everyone else. Work at home is offered to some.

Cons

Work at home isn't continually offered, so you never know when it will open up again. All of the departments are kept separate and never have a clear understanding of what everyone else does. Which is where the customer suffers if departments have to communicate to get something done for them. Within departments, there are so many different ways to complete the same tasks. Lots of turnover at all levels, even upper management.

Big company, slow to get things done, access to personal/professional development.

Business Outlook

Pros

Medtronic Mission. Wide range of products and company encourages changing positions/locations to develop/get promoted. Provides access to personal and professional development. Supports volunteering.

Cons

Managers will hold mistakes against you; not a place where you can grow from failures. Everything must be successful. Known problems with diversity and behind industry standard of women in leadership positions (some attempts for programs to aid with this). Fiscal year ends in April, May is known for reductions in forces across the company.
