Pros

Medtronic offers 4 weeks of vacation and being the largest medical device company allows you to try a lot of different business units and products

Cons

There are good sites and really really bad sites. It totally depends on the local leadership. At my site outside of Boston I've been asked to do unethical things by my manager and any shortcut they can take to meet the numbers they will. The senior leadership doesn't care and if you're ambitious you'll quickly realize this isn't the place for you.

Pros

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.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
