    Macquarie Park NSW 21137 to 8 years in the role, former employee
    A rewarding and valuable experience.
    The good thingsGreat global brand, prioritises patients ahead of profits, forward thinking, continuous improvement mindset, good professional self development opportunities, approachable senior management, make employees feel valued in what they do.
    The challengesA little tight on salary levels. Sometimes demanding on my personal life. Some disconnect between teams causing misaligned priorities.

    Medtronic is one of my favorite companies to have the privilege of being part of. It is rare to find a role, environment, management that are all agreeable as well as get a sense of purpose from the experience. In return, I strive to represent the company well.
    The good thingsBeing a medical company, I feel that employee health is included in its priorities e.g., in allowing flexible work hours and locations given that deliverables are met.
    The challengesFor my role, we are rarely informed of the career progression opportunities available for us within the company. As a bilingual, I would have loved to acquire training and both linguistic and industry exposure in Tokyo to maximize performance levels.

    Territory Sales Manager
    Nov 2019
    Not the best choice or experience of my working career.
    The good thingsMany opportunities to excel and grow (if you are well liked by upper management)
    The challengesthe culture. Perhaps not company but def internal teams seem to be a lot more coherent than actually are. Seems to be great on outside but a different view once in. Very political and those with a little bit of impact can manipulate the system to make it seem what it isn’t.

    Marketing Role
    Nov 2019
    5 to 6 years in the role
    Enjoyed working for Medtronic. Good balance between new product innovation, market knowledge and relationships. Good people. Need to innovate in operations, marketing and bench mark against competition in ANZ market.
    The good thingsGood balance of opportunities, culture, flexibility and philanthropy The size of the company allows for innovative thinking e.g. The CEO's push to think value based healthcare - payment for outcomes as opposed to payment for procedures. Great career development for Sales people.
    The challengesPurely Sales oriented at this stage - which is good for current focus and to \"bring in the bacon\". Not so good when there are challenges in funding in the current climate.

    Decent company, don't trust your contract duration though
    The good thingsCareer progression opportunities for those who put the effort in (held 3 positions over 3 years)
    The challengesWill keep staff on contracts as long as possible to avoid paying benefits. Contract durations frequently cut short too, don't rely on numbers provided.
