Pros

Not many pros. The only one I can think of is that Medtronic has a good brand reputation and getting a job here will carry you far for future opportunities at other companies. My advice is to work here for 1-2 years and then leave.

Cons

1. Expect a 20-30% pay cut compared to similar positions at other companies 2. Benefits are just ok and they have been cutting the year-end bonus. 401k matching has been decreasing every year. 3. Upper management is incompetent and will blame employees rather than taking the blame themselves. I was glad when I heard the news that Hooman Hakami was let go recently because he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. 5. Don't take a contractor position here because they will never convert you to a FTE Medtronic employee.

Pros

Medtronic is one of the largest medical device companies in the world. There was one manager who tried, but I've heard she's left since then.

Cons

Leaders didn't understand that Houston can't be run like other territories - it's large and contains the TX Medical Center. Leaders didn't care about work-life balance. You could never take time off to be sick or recover from on call weekends because there were not enough workers due to high turnover. Leaders knit-picked over the smallest things, but expected us to be at 100% every single day, even after working 14 days straight - Did I mention we worked on call from 5 pm Friday to 7 am Sunday without getting compensated or comp days? Leaders only appeared to care about their bottom line, not the well-being of the staff. Leaders didn't train the Sales Rep on how to manage the territory and Clinical Specialists, so teams had a challenge due to lack of poor leadership. People were burned out which led to high turnover. It was the worst job experience I ever had. I am truly thankful to be in a new work culture where I feel valued and appreciated.
