Big Company, Big Company Problems - Senior Software Engineer Medtronic Employee Review

Great internal talent, always openings for internal candidates, good processes and training.

Big, sometimes political, can be difficult to advance without changing departments.

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.

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
