Pros

None at this point except the feeling of working at Medtronic (or what it used to be)

Cons

Just came here to echo other people’s reviews. All the cons mentioned are unfortunately true and well alive in our god awful culture now. C suite and executives keep shuffling high paying positions amongst themselves or keep leaving. Geoff needs to be FIRED!!!!!! The company performance, culture, and stock keeps declining and his pay keeps rising; while all other employees are evaluated horribly with a review system that nobody understands or wants to change but yet is ‘improved’ and implemented every year. I really miss Omar HR is also not your friend. They don’t even like to pretend. Ethics and integrity is a JOKE! Anyone who raises their voice is either silenced or gets a target painted on their back.

Pros

Genuine camaraderie and support from fellow colleagues, flexible work hours (remote), transparency from leadership, excellent benefits especially extended maternity leave, many opportunities for growth and experience in various operating units and roles.

Cons

Limited exposure in project longevity if hired under S&SS as you are placed where the need is and not guaranteed to stay in one project or operating unit for long-term. In a similar vein, you will often need to work under different operating units and studies at the same time, which can sometimes be challenging. Also no PTO as a contingent worker and the process of being converted to permanent takes some time.

Pros

Good work life balance, no micromanagement, decent pay and benefits for the job at hand, build rewarding relationships

Cons

Continuing to learn and being involved in newer and more advanced training is very limited, job can get very boring after a while, very hard to grow let alone get increased compensation after years of being an employee. The job sometimes feels very stagnant. You stop learning after a while.
