The company seems to have lost its way, with extreme focus on diversity and social programs. - Senior Manager 3M Employee Review

Pros

Large company with many opportunities to learn different businesses

Cons

- Excessive focus on diversity programs to promote people just to hit a HR target, with little regard to qualifications. When these people fail due to lack of experience or qualifications the whole cycle starts over again. - The turnover in the executive ranks is higher that any point in the future with lots of people “leaving to explore other opportunities” - Too little focus on execution and new product innovation, competition is catching up quickly.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
