The 11 largest medtech employers of 2019 – and what their employees really think

September 10, 2019 By Danielle Kirsh

3. Medtronic

Number of employees: 90,000
Big 100 revenue ranking: 1
Glassdoor rating: 3.6/5
71% would recommend to a friend.

medtronic-large-updatedMedtronic says that its work environment offers a culture of collaboration and innovation.

Here’s what current and former employees have to say on Glassdoor: 

“Pros: Work-life balance; development opportunities; teamwork environment; great people; family orientated; diverse workforce; good comparable base pay but excellent annual bonus; many benefit options; some positions of flexible work options. Cons: Base pay could be higher if compared to other manufacturing companies; layoffs and restructuring at various levels occur sometimes causing a lot of tension and uncertainty while it’s happening.” —Current employee

“Pros: Products that save lives; lots of room to relocate or job transfer. Cons: Quality of service not valued; work tons of hours; HR protection non-existent.” —Former project coordinator

“Pros: Salary; paternal leave; intelligent co-workers. Cons: Breakneck pace; regulations; unrealistic expectations without working 50+ hours a week; intensely metric-focused.” —Current manufacturing engineer

“Pros: Good growth opportunities for younger engineers; senior employees willing to help younger engineers develop and grow. Cons: Difficult to move up the ladder; slow development pace; not great at innovation and risk-taking; pay could be better.” —Current R&D engineer

“Pros: Leadership support and budgets available. Cons: Disjointed across business and innovation.” —Former employee

“Pros: Good benefits but converging to average; overall a growing and stable company so you should have the opportunity to grow; generally not a rat-race company; good mission. Cons: There is a bit of complacency up the management layers; not the drive and curiosity saw elsewhere; comfortable.” —Former employee
