High product quality and personal development are key to Medtronic's mission

Pros

Medtronic does a tremendous job of promoting employee development and utilizing the talents of the individuals in the employ. Not only do they encourage growth within your current job function, but they help you plan for future jobs/functions and connect you with employees in other functions/business units so that you can explore your options. The corporate and managerial support for growth and development is amazing.

Cons

I can't think of anything specific to Medtronic, but it is industry and with that go a lot more SOPs and 'steps' that need to be taken. But again, that speaks to the quality effort so I really can't consider it a downside.

Great pay if you can put up with the BS....

Pros

The pay is great----at least for the job I perform. The other benefits(insurance, 401k, etc.) are pretty good as well, but do seem to be slowly eroding.

Cons

The endless corporate BS, a generally severe lack of communication or caring at the local level, and the really craptacular way that promotions are handled at the local(Memphis facilities) level. The buddy system is SOP. Really productive employees are almost punished for doing an outstanding job---again, at the local level. I can't speak for anything outside of the Memphis facilities in this regard. The atmosphere used to be much nicer when it was just Sofamor Danek. It started going downhill when the "Medtronic" was added.
