Company mission is strong, but IT work environment is toxic - IT Senior Manager Medtronic Employee Review

The IT organization is a toxic work environment. IT executives routinely exploit employees’ commitment to do the right thing for patients, and rely on fear and intimidation rather than genuine leadership. This creates a culture where people don’t act in the company’s best interest, but rather they simply follow orders to avoid becoming a target. Frequent layoffs targets experienced staff and replace them with cheaper, less seasoned employees, creating instability, eroding trust, and weakening overall capability and moral.
