Lost their way

Pros

Innovative company, many businesses that developed products that are important to other business operations.

Cons

The company has losts their way with only short term wall street focus. Since turning into a financial company vs. the original innovation company. Only way executive management knows to meet wall street demands are to eliminate jobs. Actual development of products, or innovation true to the core has all been reduced. Recycled executive team just brings that same ideas

Old, tired, and not innovative

Pros

Fairly good benefits, over 100 years of science

Cons

3M has all of the struggles of a conglomerate full of leaders that are laser focused on managing OI to hit their bonuses for the year, and that’s about it. No true innovation happening.
