Politics & Greed Leading to Sloppy/Dangerous Mistakes - Recensione dipendente - Reliability Engineer presso Medtronic

The higher-ups step on the backs of people underneath them. Contractors do a huge amount of the work, but managers and directors take the credit for the work. Often, the contractors are brutally cut loose as soon as Medtronic can't benefit any further. More grievously, Medtronic has, on occasion, completely disregarded directives from governing bodies/competent authorities. They pushed for the implant of their cancerous Bone Morphogenic Protein (Infuse/BMP) 7 weeks prior to receiving permission from the FDA (search MAUDE for FDA Report MW5038624). Medtronic has stopped caring about patients and customers and is driven by an irrational addiction to increasing market share. I see Medtronic going the way of Enron & Bear Stearns.
