Business outlook
Pros
Large company with ability to move to other divisions. Corporate culture is geared toward health and wellness of employees. Customer-centric. Well respected brand among the medical device community and customers.
Cons
There's more opportunity in some divisions than others. The legacy Covidien culture is very different from legacy Medtronic. Emotion intelligence among management is severely lacking. Lots of layers in a matrixed organization with a lot of politics. Advancement is achieved through politicking and not necessarily skill or experience. The new CEO is numbers-oriented and less focused on fostering a culture of openness, diversity, empowerment of others and work/life balance. Layoffs occur every couple of years.
