Medtronic reviews

Leadership does not value knowledge. Giant silos here. No cross team collaboration. Everyone is trying to save their jobs at the expense of doing the right thing for the product. Management takes feedback from the employees but does not act on them. There is only a smoke screen that they are acting on the feedback. Pleasing your boss is more important than doing the right thing. I have seen the culture deteriorate over the years. Growth only if you are friends with a few select people in the management. People having the power to take important decisions haven't taken any effort to learn about the product, but still try to micromanage.

Our product launches are pathetically behind schedule. The marketing team seems more focused on doing rah-rah stickers than supporting products. The quality team always presents a moving target. We spend too much time prepping for questions that the FDA may never ask. Our CAPA system is focused solely on closure dates so we have crappy solutions that make things worse, but were closed on time. THe manufacturing engineers are either overworked or incompetent (sometimes both). Management everywhere would prefer twice daily updates on everything and then still question why you are not making progress. Everything is understaffed. They took summer hours away
