Pros

Medtronic is wonderful with benefits, infrastructure, and work life balance. I would work here if you enjoy healthcare and want to work on something that is helping others

Cons

For a software engineer in my group, they have limited technologies that are available to work on due to FDA and security guidelines. Hardware also was not my cup of tea, as I would prefer to work in the cloud. This obviously is can be seen as a personal preference, and not really a "con".
