Pros

Medtronic remains competitive in almost all market segments they compete, and seem to drive growth within mature and new business units. The company remains focused on it's mission and serving patients.

Cons

The companies executive leadership team has lost touch with technical employees. The vast majority of the executive committee has NO background in science or engineering, even though they emphasize engineering capabilities and manage the worlds largest med tech company.

Pros

Very supportive Sr level management team

Cons

There was some crab barrel mentality among peers. I trusted no one with personal information to it being used against me early on. I was so secretive that no one knew what type of vehicle I drove for over 10 yrs.
