Pros

Medtronic remains competitive in almost all market segments they compete, and seem to drive growth within mature and new business units. The company remains focused on it's mission and serving patients.

Cons

The companies executive leadership team has lost touch with technical employees. The vast majority of the executive committee has NO background in science or engineering, even though they emphasize engineering capabilities and manage the worlds largest med tech company.

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.
