Pros

Technical professionals at Dunwoody location are awesome to work with but the key managers leading the technical professionals are performing below 1 star.

Cons

The job desc said the QA needed to know Agile but actually 3M HIS doesn't do Agile and doesn't know how to do Agile. The job desc said the QA needed to know how to do automation but at 3M HIS they don't know how to do automation. 3M has core values but respecting co-workers, especially QA professionals, is not one of the core values. The QA's at 3M HIS in this organization don't have the tools they need to do their work. Communication about product changes don't reach the QA who has to test the changes, until the changes have been implemented. This place is not using Agile and not using Waterfall, its bizarro world process,

Pros

Good benefits, great if your progressive otherwise not so much. They have rewards for jobs well done but still will not hesitate to use you as the company sees fit. Being transfer or eliminate jobs.

Cons

Too many meetings that yield no results. Poor innovation doing to many things and not doing any of them well. Prices are remaining to high in retail markets . Are not going to be able to compete. Getting rid of experienced workers thinking that will solve there financial turn downs, which is a poor idea. They are laying people off and they are denying it. Beware of excepting employment with them.

Pros

Easy life, slow project movements, not hard to please management, good benefits

Cons

Being in Minnesota, very hard to convince management to do something new, all the major projects taken by people already at high positions. Mentoring is only a name and followed by few senior level scientists. Most of the scientists are looking to become part of important projects and have their name connected to them. New employees (doesn't matter how good they are) are always seen as secondary inventors, even if everything was their idea. Huge race in technologists to come up with new ideas, so lot of instances of stealing ideas, snatching credits etc.
