Pros

The only positive point was that the base salary was higher than Boston Scientific.

Cons

I worked very hard at MECC keeping the production lines running, and working on improvement projects but it was never enough. Everyday they wasted an hour or more holding operations meetings that I referred to as the daily beating. MECC is a meat grinder. There is so much turnover of management and staff. The only people that survive in that environment are people that are very directive any only care about meeting metrics. I would not recommend Medtronic to my worst enemy. I realized that it was a terrible place to work my first day, but I thought it would get better. Do not make the same mistake that I did.
