Pros

The best part of the organizaiton is the people. I found that they were dedicated to the business and to the clinical benefits of their products.

Cons

Like most large organizations, I found it to be a very political environment. Also, the people who were selected for promotion seemed to be promoted based more on their political prowess, rather their their actual skill or ability. No surprise there, that's the way of large organizations.

Pros

IT's a great company with lots of growth potential here at Covidien. It is a small pharma feel with lots of money of a large pharma company.

Cons

They are starting to change into a big pharma feel. I was told it was going to be a small pharma feel, but has drastically changed as of late.
