Pros

Great benefits, great people to work with

Cons

Managers need more leadership development training! More systems training and try to be more transparent when problems arise. 3M, specifically the sterilization assurance division needs to be more forthcoming to customers when failures occur and keep customers aware of potential issues with products.

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.
