Pros

Good culture Great opportunity for growth Good Engineering Managers Lots of talented people to work with

Cons

Mid to upper level management make business decisions without Engineering input or counter to Engineer's input. Medtronic is not a 90,000 person company, but 100 small companies fighting for scraps from head quarters. Technology development is 2nd to acquisitions of companies when funding is concerned. This impacts the ability of the talented people mentioned in pros to develop new life saving technology. Low pay to entry level technicians creates high turnover rates.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
