Svantaggi
Not open to divergent view points, GROUPTHINK is alive and well here, Limited promotion opportunities. Not results driven culture, Go along to get along-- 'Closed' Minnessota mindset-- healthy distrust for anyone/anybody not from tri-state Minnesota area. Non-US based International & Global persons that are talented eventually leave or are forced out due to limited opportunities or bad cultural fit. Because Neuromodoluation makes up less than 11% of revenues BIG Brother MDT Corporation (CRDM is #1 division that commercializes pacemakers).. leaves day to day management to sub par neuromod leaders that focus on kicking the can down the road into a skillful art. HR encourages office Pollitics and are rampant and wild more than most. Because of go along to get along culture Pink Slips for malcontents go out 2-3 times per year as a "right sizing or layoff-- new & similar job descriptions are launched almost overnight to replace the just laidoff associates. Sales misses their internal number 4+ years in a row but finance allways manages to back into things to still meet their internal earnings expectations for big brother MDT & wallstreet so key Neuromodualtion execs get their bonus checks every year.
