Pros

The only positive point was that the base salary was higher than Boston Scientific.

Cons

I worked very hard at MECC keeping the production lines running, and working on improvement projects but it was never enough. Everyday they wasted an hour or more holding operations meetings that I referred to as the daily beating. MECC is a meat grinder. There is so much turnover of management and staff. The only people that survive in that environment are people that are very directive any only care about meeting metrics. I would not recommend Medtronic to my worst enemy. I realized that it was a terrible place to work my first day, but I thought it would get better. Do not make the same mistake that I did.

Pros

Good pay Great benefits Decent perks Culturally aware Fast pace Work along side smart, capable people Generally people are also very nice Challenging and rewarding work Mission driven Products you can stand behind

Cons

Senior leadership is unrealistic with what can be delivered to the street. This causes bad behavior by other senior leaders since they are unreachable goals. This overarching problem is deteriorating the culture. Continuous high growth mode year after year and severe challenges with getting work done in an overly matrix org. Underfunded enabling groups unable to keep up with demands.
