      Pros

      The cupture was positive before Monish came in. He brought a lot of ‘experience’ from GE (Weak financial performance AND crappy culture). At least with gangestad the culture was more family style. Roman is a good guy trying to do the right thing, but needs better people around him and to loosen up.

      Cons

      Too many businesses for management to handle. Doubled down on command and control strategy instead of decentralized leadership. Hasn’t grown in 5-10 years and will not with the current strategy. Stagnant leaders with experience in 3M or similar large companies. No incentives to be successful or take risks.

      Pros

      great pay, decent benefits, great PTO.

      Cons

      work/life balance is terrible due to unrealistic expectations in work load. having terrible management makes your work life miserable. huge disconnect between upper management/execs and the technical work force. bloated with bureaucracy. Corporate culture points don't actually seemsto trickle down to the real workers. contract work force (in the labs) are treated and regarded terribly.

      Pros

      Excellent Benefits. Free to be comfortable in your work environment (inclusive). They pay you just enough so that you don't leave.

      Cons

      Recent management changes have made things difficult. People who have many years with the company are becoming frustrated and are either retiring or leaving the organization. The wrong people get promoted and put into roles that they cannot handle; meanwhile the people who want those opportunities that would excel in them aren't even considered. Nepotism is big in the 3M Plants. Everyone is related to someone some how. This tends to make things unfair. Some unethical HR Professionals You apply for internal jobs and nobody even responds to you even when you email them to touch base.
