Pros

Premier, industry leading, global company with hundreds of top-notch people. Great work atmosphere/environment. Very flexible work environment. Company has returned to its wheel house strength in innovating and not just acquiring technologies.

Cons

Slow moving and beaurocratic. Lots of intra-office politics to be played. CEO is not capable of motivating the rank and file and the executive leadership team is practically faceless. Medtronic is great at identifying and hiring the best and brightest, lacks the ability and know how to keep good people through proper leadership development, training, challenging assignments and professional growth.

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.
