Pros

Salary is actually competitive for the area and the medical benefits are reasonable. There is a gym onsite. There is a yearly bonus.

Cons

Medtronic Surgical Technologies is filled with lazy incompetent people who only show up to work because they are paid. It makes is very difficult to get anything done. It is quite demoralizing for new hires who came from other companies where there is a strong work ethic with a drive and passion to succeed.

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

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