Pros

The only positive point was that the base salary was higher than Boston Scientific.

Cons

I worked very hard at MECC keeping the production lines running, and working on improvement projects but it was never enough. Everyday they wasted an hour or more holding operations meetings that I referred to as the daily beating. MECC is a meat grinder. There is so much turnover of management and staff. The only people that survive in that environment are people that are very directive any only care about meeting metrics. I would not recommend Medtronic to my worst enemy. I realized that it was a terrible place to work my first day, but I thought it would get better. Do not make the same mistake that I did.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

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.
