      Lot of learning, but thankless job with little monetary growth & co-workers who do not take responsibility.

      Pros

      Opportunities for free-wheeling innovation. Full ownership of the projects. Opportunities to collaborate globally, learn and contribute significantly. A culture of mutual respect.

      Cons

      Company does not seem to care for talent and mediocrity is encouraged. Also, the compensation and benefits are inadequate

      Pros

      Stability, stability, stability. Work safety above local average - but this is standard for U.S. companies in Central Europe. Most of employees are hired permanently and are working years after years without any position or responsibilities changes. For young 3M is conidered locally as a a good middle step in looking for better opportunities. Great work atmosphere in some departments, benefits above average. For innovators nothing to do - despite of declarations, many managers afraid of changes. This is relative small manufacturing operation - you have to realize that a certain level of promotion for share functions or biggest operations are not available here.

      Cons

      Too far time waste for every simple decisions taking, delays in everything, no any dynamics during changes, many projects and changes implemented only for "show" and to do "something". Goal setting s mainly fiction here. Performance review is inefficient cause too higher level of judging peoples comparing to evaluate level.
