Pros

Compensation seems to be on the high end. Remote working is still supported and very flexible.

Cons

Lack of organizational structure is challenging. Internal disconnects prevents us with moving forward with customers.

Pros

It's a large corporation with many areas to work.

Cons

You're just a number. Not taking care of the people anymore. They are putting profits before people and it's not working out.

A time of transition

Pros

They talk the talk on progressive engagement within the 3M organization and 3M communities. Comp is good. You won’t find smarter colleagues anywhere.

Cons

Currently the company seems to be in a state of disarray across multiple litigation concerns, slowing sales in key segments, and a pending spin-off of its health care business. Layoffs are in-motion and attrition feels constant. It’s a big place, and projects that feel important may be slowed by bureaucracy or lack of support.
