      Pros

      3M is a fast growing company to work, more opportunity to develop and moving around.

      Cons

      3M Malaysia currently handled by Japan, managing director. He is changing the whole organization into Japanese MNC style, which is not suit to 3M US way. This stopping their employees from growing the way they wanted.

      When a small/medium sized company meets a conglomerate

      Pros

      The people make this place a fun and exciting place to work. Being a part of a conglomerate means you have a lot of opportunities to do something different.

      Cons

      There was so much time spent on managing the process, enforcing the process, and ensuring compliance to the rules that not much work is completed during normal business hours. There is too much focus on the numbers every quarter. Even though there are a lot of opportunities open, it's very difficult to transfer into a new role without having the old one still attached to you.

      Pros

      Good Corporate support and opportunity for technical specialization and excellence. Teamwork at all levels. Committed and dedicated management within local plants.

      Cons

      Slow career growth. Management positions to insider networks only. Relocation required every 2-3 years if one wants to advance. Limited opportunities to grow at a fixed site. Recent changes with a strong emphasis on cost cutting and flat organizational structure. Reduction in benefits. Minimal investment in non-management staff.
