Pros

If you are not in sales directly related departments, you will have pretty stable working style. routine job, not much surprise.

Cons

It's a OP-driven company. and you won't get anything else which are not directly related to OP or revenue.

Pros

This company encourages innovation from the ground up. Innovation is rewarded through technical career ladders and formal award processes and celebration.

Cons

The benefits package is so good that there is little room to move upward as people are not leaving the company often.

Pros

The basis of the company was sound with good culture, strong professional skills, and interesting work

Cons

3M was very bureaucratic which slowed down our progress significantly. 3M had a lot of internal politics and infighting which lessened the value of efforts and caused churning to meet internal needs instead of focusing on the external goal. Ultimately, the direction set within 3M and the level of support for a potential winning product was the downfall of 3M Precision Optics.
