      Cons

      Its all about budgets and when its time to make cuts, Some departments make major cuts while others have enough in the budget to work and play with.

      The products really make a difference. The people are really dedicated. Opportunities to those willing to work for them. Good Pay and Benefits.

      Cons

      Company is practically clueless when it comes to New Product Development. Some departments and managers have communication issues and like to play politics.

      Pros

      Covidien has great benefits and managment is understanding when employees need to take time off. There is also an intense focus on quality which promotes a high level of employee integrity. Co-workers where great to work with!

      Cons

      Some salaries are far below par and it can be a real fight to get promoted. Promotions often have unwritten time requirements resulting in people getting stuck in the same position for many many years with a promised promotion always just out of reach. Outside candidates are often promoted over internal applicants. There is also very little incentive to excel. During performance reviews EVERYONE get "meets expectations" regardless of actual performance.
