Pros

Medtronic presents employees with a truly challenging job in that there is never a shortage of work. You have the chance to learn new skills and diversify your experiences. Additionally, some of your co-workers are truly great.

Cons

Depending on your manager, morale is very low, and has been for years. In addition to great co-workers, there are some who do not seem to do anything. Additionally, since everyone's plate is full, you will lose a lot of time without any sort of direct instruction or mentoring. Promotions and incentives are few and far between. Going above and beyond to do a great job is never rewarded, rarely acknowledged, and seldom if ever thanked.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
