Pros

I’m inspired by the products I work on, and believe they are making the world a better place. The benefits are great. The location is amazing.

Cons

I don’t feel stable in my job. The stock price of the entire company drives short-term decision making to cut costs. Tons of reliable talent is lost because Medtronic doesn’t see employee value beyond quarterly numbers on a spreadsheet.

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.
