Pros

Great people, innovation culture, some great brands and businesses

Cons

CEO and CFO have lost direction, lost credibility both inside and outside the company. All they can think about is cutting. High level of disfunction in the corporate operating committee.

Pros

Most of the pros that used to exist for working with 3M are now gone. No employee store on site. No employee store online. Stock purchase plan just results in lost money due to performance.

Cons

Leadership is non-existent. Consequences do not exist for most employees. Layoffs seem constant over the last 5 years.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits (including for IVF), global experience, collaborative culture, diverse businesses/industries served enables variety of career opportunities

Cons

Limited upper management opportunities for women, toxic leaders allowed to persist, investment in real innovation is declining (ie. new to the world products for new markets), company beleaguered by litigation that is impacting all employees, commitment to diversity feels like lip service
