No stability

Pros

The concepts of Medtronic are great. Very flexible work environment, great pay, excellent insurance and benefits package

Cons

There is no stability. Medtronic has been making at least one layoff per year for the last 3 years. Laying off 300+ people. Employees do not feel "valued".

Drove out the Sr HR VP

Pros

Saving lives, prolonging lives, always a great mission and this company makes a ton of dough.

Cons

Sr HR VP just left the company. Not sure what happened in this situation, but she was trying to make some necessary changes. She was intensely disliked, as an outsider, she challenged the status quo. Long-time staff and the good old girls/boys club will do anything to maintain status quo to keep their checks coming. Infrastructure is so bloated with VP's and Directors, I'm not sure how anyone is going to make necessary changes. Cult-like atmosphere and the mantra is stay below the radar, or you'll end up out the door.

Pros

Great opportunities for people in their 20s and 30s. Plenty of extra committees and workshops to learn the different business.

Cons

Over 40s are stagnated. Very few opportunities for over 40s not to move up the ladder. They have bully managers and HR doesn't even know what that means.
