      The company has changed it's focus to numbers obtained at any cost...burn and churn employees

      Pros

      The company succeeds despite itself. Well respected name. Ample resources. Offer excellent benefits and opportunity for upper movement due to the high turnover of managers

      Cons

      Communication from the home office to the field poor. Mgmt not in tune with the environment or reality of day to day operations. Sadly, it is perceived by customers as an arrogant company...knowing what the customer needs...versus asking the customer. Recent gains by the competition has put the company in a tailspin unable to effectively compete having "owned" this market foe so long

      End of the Mission? End of Growth?

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart People Hard working team members Good Benefits Good name for resume Dedicated employees Pockets of good management Competitive pay Mission

      Cons

      No growth Turning into a commodity business, and Medtronic does not have a competitive advantage-not number one in quality, not lowest price, not best/easiest customer service.. Layoffs every year since 2006 Lack of clear direction HR policies change all the time with no notice Spends many millions of dollars on dinners, charitable outings (golf tournaments), and other events for doctors--money that could be used to brand Medtronic, develop new products, improve quality, etc... Many employees think that the mission is "dead"

      Good opportunities if you have some patience and work hard at networking internally.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, competitive salary and reasonable vacation time. It feels good to be part of company that makes truly amazing products that can improve lives. There is an active technical community within the company and they've done some cool work internally with social networking to leverage employees' expertise across business units.

      Cons

      Lots of layoffs in recent years and and maybe more to come with worries about markets slowing down. Moving to different jobs internally is not easy. In my experience,some hiring managers are reluctant to hire people who are looking to grow new skills. But there are good opportunities if you take time to build a network and let people know what your goals are.
