      I love the patient-focused mission, but the politics and complexities of the matrix org sucks the life energy from me.

      Pros

      You can move from one org to another to grow your career. Good pay and benefits. The patient-focused mission is a wonderful thing, even for those who are not in patient-facing roles. The annual holiday party features 6 or 8 patients and their stories. Amazing stuff. Never a dry eye in the house.

      Cons

      Management talks of focusing on only two or three objectives, but the list below each objective is often unobtainable. Very short-sighted thinking with respect to recruitment. There is always talk of hiring top talent, but when faced with down quarters dysfunctional limitations around relocation are imposed. CRDM, the biggest business unit, hasn't made plan for five years. Layoffs every time as a consequence.

      medtronic offers excellent training in the area of device follow up and implantation support. The best in the industry

      Pros

      medtronic is very well respected by our hospital and physician customers. The amount of training that is provided is first class. If you put in the time and effort you will be rewarded with pay increases,promotions, and stock options.

      Cons

      The CRM division has had a hiring freeze for over a year. It takes at least 14 months to train a highly motivated new employee. We can't seem to be able to keep employees in our district for more than 2 years. They all get burned out and quit or go and work for the competition. The company was built on non-revenue service. This worked for a long time, but with the flat and negative market growth in devices the service expectations keep going up but the hospitals keep demanding more and more price cuts. Medtronic has not offered solutions or policies to help support the field with this problem.

      Pros

      MNav is a strong growing business and the lack of bureaucracy allows work to proceed quickly Free Coffee

      Cons

      Medtronic as a whole has poor benefits (Vacation and the 401K Match VESTS!) Poor systems (Quality and Manufacturing) Poor Management (dangerous amateurs) Poor facility (not well cared for, dirty bathrooms) Unethical business practices (management is not to be trusted, eventually their business practices will catch up with them)
