Pros

You are working to help people with Diabetes and that is a meaningful occupation. The location is perfect - Southern California has much better weather than MN.

Cons

Still a disconnect in professionalism of Medtronic Corporate (in MN) and Medtronic Minimed in Northridge, culture has been slow to change.

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.
