Pros

There are more opportunities available for freshers and those who are seeking to learn. A new mobile phone of worth 10000/- can be reimbursed once in 3 years that too on a pro-rated basis, Broad band bill of 1200/- per month can be reimbursed. Other than these there are loads of tasks are given to employee Working tasks on functional aspects are good as most of the process deals with medical devices , regulation , compliance , QA etc.

Cons

IT Center in Bangalore was opened with the main intention of saving expenses mostly on everything including on office utilities those are made available to employees free of cost. Hence main focus was shifted from US to India to open a new office. A recent shifting of office from HAL to Outer ring road We Work is one of the blunder decision that management has ever made. When Medtronic policies on security , confidentiality , IPs are so stringent and strict then how come a shared Workspace like We Work was chosen to be a office destination, within the building one can see there are many other companies working with us just a simple separation of a transparent glass board that itself is a violation of all confidential norms of company . But the management is happy because they were able to save loads of money by moving to WeWork building. Testing team is spoiled to the core by bringing down the standards wherever they can find cost optimization. For all approvals there is only one manager who is seen as all powerful. Manager attitude is not less than compared to a dictator ,only a manager voice is heard and made effective in every decision making points. It is because of these reasons there are many absconding cases , early exit cases within 2-3 months of joining the company. So any new job seekers please be aware here don't get attracted by just looking into the product based profile, inside this is just another service based company trying to run its operations below its billing concers , at some situation even worser compared to a service company.

Pros

Ability to work from home, flexible when it comes to needing to take time to go to appointments, etc.

Cons

The culture has gone downhill. Not collaborative or inclusive, no one feels empowered to make decisions which means no work can get done and there is no direction. Way too many office politics.

Pros

1. Company in general seems nice and has a rich culture and descent global recognition. 2. Headquarter Mounds View cafeteria food quality is good.

Cons

1. Disorganized at non-core business units, i.e. Global IT Services. I would not trust to purchase our own product if our product business line was operating the same ways as the Global IT service management team operated. 2. Very bureaucratic, the incentives of the entire IT service data-driven initiative was "get-the-number" out to the highest level manager instead of quality, accuracy and improvement. The lower level analysts eventually bear the consequences of the poor-quality outcomes direct managers strongly demanded. 3. No training, it's "throw you under the bus" style starting at day 1. 4. At some peripheral departments, such as IT Global Service, it's almost 0 quality result driven and more like 90 percent management-authoritarian driven and people are working to comply what higher managers demand every day for promotion, instead of functioning around the actual customer-satisfactory outcome.
