Medtronic reviews

The company does not value long time employees at all. I was at the company for 2.5yrs and in that time never received a significant raise or promotion. The best they could do was an annual raise of 2% which is terrible considering the rate of inflation is 7.7%. What also made me mad is people fresh out of college were getting hired and paid for the same position I had been in for 2.5yrs. It got to the point where I had to value my own dignity over the job. The only metric upper management cares about is stock price. In my 2yrs there we never once received a full bonus due to "underperforming". Which never made sense to me because my operating unit always over preformed or met all quarterly goals. So it felt like we were being punished for other teams underperforming, but hey at least CEO Geoffrey Martha was able to be compensated $16.8 million this year.

Working in HR here often feels like herding cats. Constant changes with unclear purpose behind them. While leadership is busy patting themselves on their backs for being best in class in practically everything, their organizations are suffering and burning out. It doesn't appear they care too much about retention even though they continue to claim to. Lots of hollow words with little action to help very many.
