Amazing people, low pay

Pros

I've never worked with such amazing people and teams. People hold themselves accountable for project completion, are open to hearing other ideas and getting to know their colleagues on a personal level. Work/life balance was one of the best I've experienced. I enjoyed how structured the company was and the amount of knowledge and expertise everyone had.

Cons

The compensation is so low. I couldn't continue working here with the small merit increases they give annually. My manager also wasn't great at helping me develop my career and how to navigate the company to move into a new role. The career opportunities are there within the company, my manager just wasn't aware of how to help their employees. Many people on my team left for other roles or different OU.

Too much spin doctoring

Pros

Strong Mission; Great products Wonderful pedigree & reputation

Cons

1) Succession of management changes have made the company extremely inwardly focused. Hardly anyone is focused in the customer. 2) Too many internal meetings with people's competence is being judged by their ability to present PowperPoint charts that talk a good game but have no substance. 3) Product pipeline has been talked up heavily but there is hardly any new innovation 4) Too many layers of management slow down decisions. Also burdens with costs 5) HR practices lack transparency - usually biased towards known elements

Pros

Most of the lower level employees at the legacy Medtronic business units are dedicated to their work and to the corporate mission.

Cons

From top to bottom, Medtronic currently has significant leadership issues. Managers and executives do not understand what motivates their employees. Lower level employees are afraid to speak up on operational concerns, as they’ve watched peer jobs be eliminated. The problems run so deep, it which will take many years to correct even after the board finally removes Geoff Martha as CEO.
