      Overall, I have been satisfied with my experiences and opportunities at Covidien for the last 8 years.

      Pros

      Solid products offer some stability. However, there is concern for the future, no funnel of new products. I am from St. Louis, so it is nice to have the opportunity to move up and stay in town. Many choose travel vs. relocation. Company does spend money to try and keep the plants in good working conditions

      Cons

      20 Monkeys with typewriters could put together more constructive feedback than many of the managers in my department. Too much holding the cards and secrets from the masses or in many cases the Project Engineers and Managers that can actually improve your decisions.

      Company Culture Changes every 6 months

      Pros

      The Products the company makes are generally very well designed and made. In general the sales force is extremely motivated and possibly the best trained in the medical community.

      Cons

      The Marketing Strategy is very disjointed, product line to product line, product to product, or even month to month. There was a lot of turnover among senior leadership, and with each change comes a new culture. Rather than building up and enhancing a brand to boost sales, the company consistenty chooses layoffs for cost containment.
