Pros

The various perks, benefits, and pay help to make working here a personally rewarding experience. The company also has a commitment to volunteering as well. On top of everything though, you know you're helping to save and improve lives.

Cons

The current and recent senior management types have had blinders on that apparently only allow them to see the number following the letters MDT. Nothing else matters to them but how high they can make that number, and that has made the company suffer. It's not limited to this company, as this mindset has destroyed much of what made America great, but it's still disappointing to see that it has infected the thinking here.

Pros

If you have good background knowledge you will excel in the company.

Cons

The double standards that go around in the building is absolutely ridiculous and their is constantly drama between the managers. The pay rate's are unfair because they make lower employee's do all of the work while some of the upper management don't do a damn thing yet get all the credit and all the $$$$. Some unlucky individuals get the short end of the stick and are constantly blamed for unnecessary issues while others seem to fly by with nobody caring. It's a roll of the dice. You may write some protocol's and reports that other employee's will take credit for and put their name on it. Don't trust anybody too soon. Also, temp employees get treated very badly and aren't allowed to participate in any medtronic activities, yet they do a lot more work than most of the full-time employees.

Pros

Good salary and good benefits.

Cons

This place is a model of inefficiency and a real challenge to anyone who has an ambitious spirit. Everyday I work there it's like being forced to handle hay with a shovel although I know pitchforks are widely available and would increase efficiency like 1000%. Due to the high level of inefficiency, I am surprised anything ever gets done. Nobody knows anything and everybody seems to be doing their assigned task for the first time, because they learned nothing the last time the task was done. Most questions are answered with "I don't know" and a shrug, even from people who have been there for years. It's mind-numbing and I'm planning a very hasty exit.
