Pros

Decent benefits (insurance, etc) Nice external branding Some friendly people

Cons

3M claims to want new ideas but existing infrastructure, process and cultural deadweight is anchor around neck of company 20+ years behind in tech adoption No interest or investment in advancing (color tv is probably just a fad thinking) Pension creates welfare state for old timers Promote from within boys club hobbles any real hope for change and demoralizes people who could help

Pros

Money, other then that horrible place to work.

Cons

I worked for both Roche and 3M. 3M for being such a large company is terrible at best. Unless you are asian you will deal with nothing but racism at the flemington plant. I also highly recommend police perform an investigation for the severe amount of favoritism and sexual discrimination between men and women. It is 2021 and they operate like it is the 1960s. Not to mention they lied to me during the interview the tour consisted of which machines they ran, due to being a machine operator at Roche in order to entice me to work their. The supervisor literally knows nothing of the job that I performed which I never saw before in order to be a supervisor at roche you have to know every job the production and packaging worker has to do. Terrible company and i recommend if you have any experience in medical manufacturing choose branchburg roche over here.
