3M reviews

Company emphasizes shareholder value way more than loyalty to employees. They will eliminate jobs and pile an unreasonable amount of work and responsibility on the remaining employees. There has been a big move to offshore many salaried support functions. Moral is low due to the elimination of many positions. Company ethics will not match the ethics of the small communities most manufacturing plants are located in, the politics from corporate are very woke.

Process and Product Engineers tend to have a lot of overtime during night hours or early mornings when you get calls from operators and they need help (this is unpaid of course). Additionally, if there are new product trials, you will need to put in a lot of extra hours that cut into personal time or rest hours. 3M also places new engineers right out of college into the more undesirable locations, which means that not many people stick around for long.
