Pros

If you're looking to enjoy seeing your coworkers every day, this is the pace to be. A very grass roots environment - there are great personal and professional development opportunities (talks, employee resource groups, etc), often sponsored by your coworkers, and people take bike rides and go on walks together before, during, and after work. Most of management cares about your development and will work to provide Medtronic sponsored opportunities (trainings, conferences, etc). It's up to you to take the initiative though.

Cons

Resourcing, resourcing, resourcing. You have one person doing the work of two sometimes three people. It can be addicting but people burn out. And parking is an issue.

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.
