Pros

Medtronic is general is an excellent company. But Medtronic Singapore Operations is a pathetic place to work. 1) Benefits are one of the best 2) You get to work with some amazing products that has a great impact on human life.

Cons

1) Management is totally Lost. They just need to over write one another's decisions. None of them takes responsibility for what they asked the people to do. Engineers are not allowed to do anything on their own and just follow instructions from management even though data shows what they ask you is not right. 2) Senior Quality Manager has NO Technical background. Hence she cannot make any sound decisions on Technical matters. 3) HR Department is extremely weak. They are not supposed to make any decisions. They follow what Management ask them to do. 4) High Turn Over rate (About 15 - 18 employees resign within 2 months)

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
