Pros

Very professional environment. FTEs friendly and willing to share info and help newbies. Company fostered engagement by creating/sponsoring events for sense of community.

Cons

Contractors not officially trained on software applications; perhaps for propriety reasons (?); have to glean what you can from FTEs.

Pros

Easy job, no high standards, big company so job security is really good. Takes A lot to get let go Benefits and starting pay is really good

Cons

- Terrible management that will do everything possible for you to not grow. Reviews will be so off base and deceitful so an employee can not receive a higher bonus/raise/promotion - Environment is so slow. If you are looking forward to problem solving, smart co-workers, and awesome work environment, look the other way - Growth is virtually impossible since 3M gives loyalty to seniority than work quality - Management did nothing for my moral. Instead of getting more engineers on the job, they will run you down and place all blame on you

Pros

Big bucks salary and chances to work with some incredibly intelligent, gifted people from around the world and also work with some cutting edge technologies.

Cons

When the CEO defines a good year as 4 good quarters, you know he is at the beck-and-call of Wall Street. Since everyone has a laptop, it's impossible to leave work when you exit the door. Scientists and engineers use to run the place and gave us Scotchguard, Scotch Tape, Post-It Notes etc. Marketers have run the place since 2001 and given us________?
