      Chaotic Company

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of data exists and would be very interesting to utilize (if only the company could get out of its own way). Work life balance was semi-reasonable.

      Cons

      Leadership is trying to live in the past. Does not prioritize the type of advanced analytics appropriate for the current day. Is only capable of supporting very simple analyses that can be done within an excel sheet. Does not support top talent, and makes very little effort to retain even important product owners. Very few opportunities for advancement. Over the 5 years I worked there, share price went from over 200 to less than 100.

      Pros

      Great pay, flexible work schedule, competitive benefits.

      Cons

      Managers do not advocate for you. Unilateral decision making. No investment in employee development. Too much cost cutting and lack of vision and investment in their people.

      3M has changed for the worst

      Pros

      3M has good benefits for it's fulltime employees. The salaries are good market value.

      Cons

      Due to the 3M US taking over and not allowing Canadian employees to manage, the culture and work environment is horrible. Employees are now in a constant fear that they will lose their jobs in the next round of restructuring. The do pay well for a 40 hour work week, however the majority of employees work much more weekly, making the pay less than desirable.

We see your concerns regarding the change in Canadian management and the resulting insecurity and encourage you to speak to your direct supervisor or HR to discuss these issues further if you have not yet done so.
