Pros

- Nice facility - Good amount of exposure - Good benefits - Good resources

Cons

- “High performing team” directly translates to “overloading employees”. I think some people are more than capable of handling this, myself included. But I certainly see others struggling, BIG TIME, with their workloads. And ultimately, this impacts other staffers who are capable. - A little cult like among staff - Weird time for the company financially. I don’t think they’re in a bad spot at all. But they’re changing the culture around their finances. - Personally, I’m not super impressed with the pay. It’s not awful, but there’s better options out there. - They really oversell the culture here. It’s very forced and comes off as not genuine.

Pros

I worked at Medtronic for 3.5 years. At first, perks weren’t too bad. There was a ball arena suite you could put your name into a hat to get free tickets to. Healthcare was decent. You got Medtronic branded things on your first day. Cool coworkers. It felt like the company cared about you. After 1 year, I saw the truth. They don’t care about you. Ball arena suite: sold. Healthcare: certain tests cost an arm and a leg. Medtronic branded things for employees: banned. Coworkers: laid off. All in all, the only pro is that it was a good opportunity to get my foot into the door. I got a substantial pay increase from my previous position.

Cons

My manager was the most toxic human I have ever dealt with in my life. She only had the position because of her “phD” title , yet refused to learn/didn’t know how any method worked in the lab. She was out of touch with reality and thought she was way better than you. She wanted you to feel like the dirt under her shoe. And she was good at it. Medtronic supported her every step of the way when I reported her (multiple times) to employee relations. She got no backlash. She then started reporting me and then I was constantly berated by ER. She made me be the only person in the lab constantly testing. She never moved me up or allowed me to advance in any way. She had me doing the same tasting day in and day out. For 3.5 years. She chose favorites and sucked the life out of me and most of my coworkers. Many left. Some got laid off. Medtronic then laid the rest of my entire team off. Thankfully I found another job very quickly (I had been looking for years and something stuck at the right time). If you value your mental health, avoid this company. They will take advantage of you and put people in power for their titles, not their leadership skills.

Pros

Great pay, salary review once a year, 401K, awesome health insurance

Cons

There is no worklife balance in this role. They expect you to be available from 6 AM to 6 PM working Monday through Friday and being on-call on weekends. Training takes over nine months and you get no guidance from anyone in your area. The training is virtual and you have to balance training clinics and hospitals all at the same time. They tell you they Will teach you everything you need, but that is not true.
