Pros

The company has some great life-saving products and very passionate employees.

Cons

Neuovascular division (NV) Management is running the business into the ground. Very counter-productive environment. Definitely work hard and not smart. Strategies pulled out of the air and constantly changing. Wages are below market and health benefits are standard. There is very little investment in employees. There's so much potential but the leadership in Sales organization is awful and stalls great employees. Recently both East Sales Executive VP and West Sales Executive VP resigned due to unbearable leadership. Culture is not open to new ideas as the organization is run like a dictatorship. I hope other business units within Medtronic umbrella are run better. Great people are leaving.

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.
