Pros

Great co-workers (60% are awesome, 30% average, 10% are terrible) Challenging environment Good place to get hands on experience with new skills

Cons

60+ hours/week is a regular expectation Poor salary compared to other employers Directors and management will literally yell and berate people they do not like rather than solve the problem Too much fire-fighting and little long-term prevention of problems Low employee morale

Medtronic Navigation is not the place for a motivated, results oriented and ambitious employee.

Quality

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Foremost, the camaraderie that is developed with co-workers is unique and unforgettable. Second, the product, while superior, is also technically complex and challenging, which means that there is always something new to learn about it.

Cons

Incompetent management team that discourages growth opportunities for employees and has hired many lazy and incompetent engineers (especially in the Quality team). The senior management team that was in place at the time I was on-boarded was a skilled, competent and technically sound team that encouraged new initiatives and continuous improvement and promoted a focus on work/life balance and career opportunities. The current management team is incompetent and discourages any future growth for the product or the people.

Pros

The mission of Medtronic is wonderful and the desire to help customers with diabetes is what keeps me going. The benefits are very good considering they just raised in price.

Cons

There is lack of direction, lack of loyalty, lack of promoting those who truly deserve to be promoted. In 5 years of hard work for this company I have only received a 2% raise each year. I question whether or not if this is the right place for me. I have a feeling I will not only improve financially by leaving Medtronic but I will grow in ways I cannot at this company.
