Pros

The benefits are good for PTO where you would get 10 hrs of PTO every month if you’re Full time.

Cons

Management, most leads, and engineers do not have any kind of awareness. Learning a new manufacturing procedure is not performed by a engineer or a lead. Instead you are to hear them speak of the procedure and sign off a training paper. You are stuck by yourself in finding out information to moving up in positions as well. It is not promoted through a Supervisor or lead in a game plan in moving up within the company. They’ll have drawings and raffles but they do not announce them to the assemblers. They’ll withhold the information and take the contests prizes for upper management. There isn’t any honesty/transparency for where the direction the company is heading. Medtronic feels like the Walmart of Medical Device industries. Work environment is similar and no one seems to be happy working there long term in the company. High employee turnover rate.

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.
