Pros

The medtronic mission is a compelling and very much supported reason to come to work Community involvement by Medtronic is significant and the technologies impact real people with real medical conditions

Cons

Very many silos - Business A doesn't know what Business B does. Mobility between businesses is limited. Sites outside the Twin Cities can get neglected. Senior Management frequently leaving the company or being forced to leave make consistency of message difficult.

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.
