      Sinking ship but flexible work arrangements

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Flexible work arrangements like working entirely remotely - Pay is competitive for work being done

      Cons

      - The company does layoffs nearly every year for the last decade - Advancement is based on network or years of service more than ability - Many people stay at 3M for decades, especially those who were grandfathered into pension plans, but it means that the company does not have strong new ideas flowing through. Many older employees simply do not have incentives for continuous learning and keeping up in a digital age for industry.

      Not what it once was

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work environment, most areas remain focused on personal and team development.

      Cons

      Overly focused on cost cutting measures and short term benefits, often at expense of longer term impacts. Feels like company has lost it's way over the past few years.

      Good Company but terrible division

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable job with a lot of people to help. With that in mind, my division was sold off.

      Cons

      Nepotism and favoritism was exhaustive and just doing your work is not looked upon great unless you are sucking up to management.
