Pros

Salary is actually competitive for the area and the medical benefits are reasonable. There is a gym onsite. There is a yearly bonus.

Cons

Medtronic Surgical Technologies is filled with lazy incompetent people who only show up to work because they are paid. It makes is very difficult to get anything done. It is quite demoralizing for new hires who came from other companies where there is a strong work ethic with a drive and passion to succeed.

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.
