not a place for fresher to join - Software Engineer Medtronic Employee Review

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

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

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.

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