3M reviews

1) 3M has over 70 manufacturing sites in the US, and the vast majority of them are in rural locations. Most people would prefer to be in an urban/suburban area. In addition, the rural sites seem to get less attention and are neglected. 2)3M has went through restructuring around the time of the pandemic (2021) and has reduced headcount to a point where each role now has about 1.25 - 2 times the amount of work. In addition, there are so few people that there is not really an established on call system or back up system. 3) 3M Optimized Operations (rotational program) is a scam. This rotational program is advertised as an opportunity to work on projects and get experience at various 3M sites. In reality, this program is used as a tool to hire engineers for job req's that are not being filled (less desirable locations for instance).

Leadership Silos bureaucracy Same as it ever was - the tenure is so deep that Culture is eating strategy CEO more worried about shareholder than company and employee
