Pros

The people I work with are awesome. The project is interesting and the benefits are top notch. 401k is above and beyond. 5% match plus 3%. I contribute 5% and am getting 13% into my IRA. Also I think the vacation is just what it needs to be. It starts a little low but grows over the time you are there. The unlimited vacation that gets tossed around in the tech world now is a big trap. It just allows them to pile more work on you, even though it feels nice to think you have unlimited vacation, you end up getting less than if you had a fixed amount.

Cons

AIP program is a joke. They hold a part of your salary and then in March they tell you that the division only hit 80% of it’s goal and then only give you 80% of what they held. Just call it a bonus guys and don’t try to tell me my salary includes that. Also the production staff is so far removed from sales that it makes it really difficult for us to feel like we have any sort of control over the performance of the division. Politics and red tape is a little out of hand. Security seems to exist to slow down development and cause them grief.

3M Response
