My experience at Covidien

Pros

Allowed me to apply my engineering skills. Project team I was working with met every day for updates so everybody was really transparent and open. Company has a very diverse culture, both old and young. A lot of value in the products I got to work with so the work was very motivating.

Cons

Had to be let go/end contract due to money not flowing into department. Wished they assigned my desk close to the project team I was working with.

Pros

Large and aggressive organization with some of the best globally recognized Medical Device products/brands.

Cons

Poor current management that inherited a well managed organization and superior products from previous management. This is the only reason why they have been successful YTD. Only concern is own personal success. Teamwork is secondary to non existent. Within the Supplies GBU no opportunity for career development.
