Pros

This location retained much of its small company culture after acquisition.

Cons

Virtually no communication from corporate, and some (perhaps even much) of the information we got was not even honest. Reorganizations happened more than annually--this seems completely excessive for a company that was not in a distressed situation.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to advance and a strong healthcare culture. I have met so many amazing colleagues and people are willing to share their expertise. I am proud to work for Covidien and plan to stay here for years to come!

Cons

The pace at Covidien is not for everyone. The company expects a lot and I've had to work harder here than at any other job.
