Negative, fear-ridden, blaming culture (3M U.K. Consumer & Office Unit)

Key account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good facilities at the Bracknell office including a Starbucks and excellent subsidised cafe. The office facilities are also of a high standard.

Cons

The culture within the U.K. Office team is very negative and driven by fear. Member of the team are too scared to make decisions because the management is always looking to advance their careers by ensuring that blame lies elsewhere. The most hostile, un-productive, agenda-driven place I have ever worked.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice campus, plenty of perks

Cons

Most departments are siloed, many are afraid to communicate with corporate. Managers can be micromanagers and many are new to management and do not have the training for it. It is definitely who you know, not what you know to get in.

Pros

Decent money, travel is fun. Able to see the country while working. Being a part of the process of bringing the product to healthcare facilities is enjoyable

Cons

Politics, politics, politics. Just the same stuff that's at every position and at every company on this planet. Unavoidable, just a part of life.
