Business Outlook

Pros

Diversity is embraced. Great place for someone in engineering and science bacground. Engineering is the life and blood of this company.

Cons

It's cold in Minneapolis. No, seriously MDT needs to get their act together in investing in talent that can bring new innovations to the market quickly. They have an aging employee population that is very talented but will have to retire soon.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
