      Strong performance, big corporate nature, competitive pay and benefits

      Senior manager global marketing

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong performance, brand recognition (good resume builder) and work-life balance. The stocks have doubled in the past 3 years and are going strong. Having a global market leader on the resume is definitely a plus.

      Cons

      Constant re-organizations: some people got 6+ bosses in 4 years. As a result, people are constantly worry about their job and are not motivated.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great investment in systems and processes. The management does take a longer-term view and willing to invest in systems. Good pay and benefits. I really liked the employee stock purchase plan (15% discount), 401k match (6%), summer hours (most leave office by 1 or 2 on Fridays during the summer months), charity contribution match, volunteer day, competitive pay and bonus as well as generous options at the higher level. Great people and the company really encourages employees to be involved with the local community. It was great to work for a company that is involved day-to-day in helping to drive a positive patient outcome.

      Cons

      Pressure to drive down manufacturing cost by closing plants in the U.S. Very marketing and sales focused. R&D at certain pockets of the organization seems to struggle with innovation.

      Average Covidien 2014

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Average organization still attempting to find a corporate culture after multiple acquisitions. A lot of technical and engineering resources at various sites.

      Cons

      Minimal work/life balance due to multiple and conflicting priorities from corporate and site level leadership.
