Pros

Salary Package, pension scheme and benefits are nice

Cons

Management completely lost, no clear roadmap, firefight only to satisfy marketing and high level management. Spent over an year and a half and haven't completed one single project from start to end. Very frustrated cos many people said the company was good, and medical industry was a nice environment. After 10 years of automotive shifted to medical and it was a disaster, so slow pace and people very very laidback. Most of department colleagues with more than 10 or even 20 years of company, very hard to follow their knowledge (no clear techincal standards documented for new employees). Not an engineering company at all, R&D do not calculate tolerance stack ups on their products!! Coming from the automotive I was shocked, because the medical industry supposed to be way more refined and organized than automotive in this sense. Agile system so confusing. No technical trainings provided. Cornerstone is a nightmare (haven't ever done so many corporate trainings in my entire life as in this place, at least 10 per month, time waste) No proper project management department deployed, R&D sustaining running projects as project managers and lead tech engineers (completely wrong being two stakeholders and getting paid as only one). People talk to much and no one takes responsibility in this place, everyone washing their hands and saving their arses to chillout (specially management). If you are a true engineer, avoid this place at all costs, do not fall into this trap!

Pros

Medtronic remains competitive in almost all market segments they compete, and seem to drive growth within mature and new business units. The company remains focused on it's mission and serving patients.

Cons

The companies executive leadership team has lost touch with technical employees. The vast majority of the executive committee has NO background in science or engineering, even though they emphasize engineering capabilities and manage the worlds largest med tech company.

Not a warm welcome

Pros

I get to work with some former coworkers work here.

Cons

Not a very warm welcome. I have been here for a couple months and have been idle the last 3 weeks. My manager is supposed to get training lined up for me, but still waiting on it despite myself and a coworker asking for the training. I thought I understood what my role is, but am slowly learning it is not what I signed up for. I learn about meetings I should be in after the fact which doesn’t help with my understanding of what the job entails. Regretting ever taking this job.
