Pros

Solid company financially, location, salary

Cons

No checks and balances on senior leadership - can do what they want and HR will back them up even it what they want to do isn't the best for the company or the employee

Medtronic helps the world, who's going to help them?

Business Outlook

Pros

Knowing that you are helping people live a full life is a great feeling. There are many exciting technical challenges to keep scientists and engineers engaged.

Cons

Sometimes it seems that all the company has is the mission and knowing that the work is helping people. "Well, at least I'm not hurting people" is a terrible reason to come to work. There seems to be a lot of 'historyonics' in play in several of the divisons that get in the way of progress because people want to hold on to the past (especially when the stock was splitting every other year). This frustrates new talent and is creating challenges retaining young talented people who can get the same headaches elsewhere for more pay.
