Great company from the bottom up. Vision and decision making at top are often at conflict. - Plant Manager 3M Employee Review

Pros

Co-workers across the company are a great asset and willing to help others even those in different divisions or business groups. If you are willing to relocate, there opportunities are there for your taking.

Cons

Typical large company bureacracy. Decisions are slow to come by and often too late to meet the market demands. Need to give middle managers the ability to make higher level decisions and then be accountable for them.

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.
