Good company that is going downhill.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great manager that supports and works hard for our department. My team is very collaborative and supportive. Lots of team training and help. Great products and a lot of potential to get back to being a great company

Cons

Upper management rules by fear. Lots of decisions made by upper management without knowing if they are feasible or good ideas. Upper management constantly promises things to customers without ever talking to the development teams. The healthcare network in the salt lake area is terrible. The dollar rules over ethics at times. Upper management is constantly pushing for employees to work overtime, with no compensation. Lots of witch hunts trying to find who made a mistake instead of finding a solution and moving on. Lots of decisions to release software without allowing for proper testing.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people to work with. Depending on immediate manager, good opportunities. Benefits used to be very good but have been hit by the recession and Health Care mandates.

Cons

3M is a manufacturing company and doesn't seem to really know how to handle their software group. Upper level management turns over too frequently to give a stable vision. Local Human Resources doesn't seem to really care at all for the employees.
