Pros

Medtronic Mission. Wide range of products and company encourages changing positions/locations to develop/get promoted. Provides access to personal and professional development. Supports volunteering.

Cons

Managers will hold mistakes against you; not a place where you can grow from failures. Everything must be successful. Known problems with diversity and behind industry standard of women in leadership positions (some attempts for programs to aid with this). Fiscal year ends in April, May is known for reductions in forces across the company.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
