      Leadership very out of touch, changing in dehumanizing, hazardous ways - Global Marketing Manager 3M Employee Review

      Pros

      Historically a great company to work for. Good culture, and 3M prides itself in being an "ethical" company. It used to be very stable, with decent work-life balance. Lots of great employee resources, training courses and development opportunities. Huge scale and room to grow and move around in your career. Much of this remains true, but recent changes have moved things in a negative direction, with little hope of recovery any time soon.

      Cons

      Leadership things re-org-ing is the solution to everything. So tone deaf to reality and the high mental health cost. I thought I was a valued employee, but the latest changes were dehumanizing and made me feel like a cog in the machine. Jobs were cut so recklessly that our division is barely functional anymore.

      Pros

      Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

      Cons

      Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
