The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
How’s it like working at Medtronic Diabetes group? #medtronic #medicaldevices
Dumpster fire is from what I know. Always fails to deliver on time
Lol damn, straight for the jugular
The business unit is in need of overhauling. Few issues I notice: 1. Too many layers of management. 2. Management is not strategic and is sinking in both a technology debt and in bureaucracy burden. A new top management is needed. P.S. They just started a new president, so she might turn around, but I think unless she gets rid of the old guard nothing would change, and because she doesn’t know diabetes she is going to need them for at least a year or two. 3. Our business is losing customers on a daily basis, this is public news. 4. Work life balance is good, but I honestly think that some people don’t work like 10% of the time while some has to work 100% 5. Because there is no strategy, there is a lot of churn. The last time we had a product out the door was yeaaaars ago. 6. If you are horrible at your job, you don’t get fired, you get promoted at another department (as long as you are not a minority). 7. It is hard to learn something new, when things take forever to happen. The current situation kills innovation. 8. Your bonus will rarely meet the 100% due to the diabetes side sucking at every front. This year it could be 70%, who knows. 9. If you are joining, choose a good manager. This place is full of politics and if you don’t have someone to help you, you are screwed. Compensation is average but negotiate like hell, because once you are in, the raises are peanuts. 10. Try Tandem or DexCom :)
Wow sounds scary. I was considering a remote role within Quality department.
Sinking ship. Come join and die with us 😂😂
Any good things about working there?
None
Run. The new diabetes leader (Que) is ruthless and has let decades long Medtronic employees go for not working late nights, long weekends and answering her phone calls on the first ring. It’s a bloodbath. Geoff Martha loves her because diabetes is finally about to make money, but the cost on employee mental health and wellness is massive!
Depends, which division are you talking about in which aspect?
Quality department. How’s the business doing overall? How’s the culture?
