Pros

- if it aligns with your values, mission can be inspiring - Great company to retire - things move slow, but generally safe place to work

Cons

- Medtronic is brutal at enforcing their culture - Generally most benefits are designed for VP levels and above - Extremely frugal especially towards lower and middle level management employees - Too many levels and hierarchies and too big for employees to be noticed - Newer offices have workspaces that are open and extremely basic. Offices do not have enough meeting rooms or areas for private conversations. - Whether you are Executive assistant or Director - all get same basic work space and general benefits
