Pros

Medtronic presents employees with a truly challenging job in that there is never a shortage of work. You have the chance to learn new skills and diversify your experiences. Additionally, some of your co-workers are truly great.

Cons

Depending on your manager, morale is very low, and has been for years. In addition to great co-workers, there are some who do not seem to do anything. Additionally, since everyone's plate is full, you will lose a lot of time without any sort of direct instruction or mentoring. Promotions and incentives are few and far between. Going above and beyond to do a great job is never rewarded, rarely acknowledged, and seldom if ever thanked.

Claims to value employees, but that's corporate rhetoric.

Pros

Worked at one of the divisions outside of Minneapolis for 3 years. Good work/life balance. Salary OK.

Cons

All decisions come from MN. Management doesn't recognize accomplishments. Middle management awarded positions based on favoritism, not merit.
