Pros

Medtronic products make people’s lives better.

Cons

The CEO, Geoff Martha, is struggling. Executive leadership is mostly made up of yes men and good old boys. Medtronic is struggling because of a restructure during Covid (who does that?) and a lack of capable leadership.

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.
