      Short-term focused company. Constant restructuring, budget cuts and layoffs; terrible culture. - Global Manager 3M Employee Review

      Pros

      Pay is average but doesn't stand out against market rates. Lots of opportunities to move around internally.

      Cons

      They make it clear they are a shareholder-first company and the dividend is all that matters. There is little to no consideration of the customers anymore. Margin % is the primary metric. Very short-term focused leadership operating quarter to quarter to meet their bonus goals. Terrible culture. No one is empowered to make decisions. Layoffs, budget cuts and restructures every year are sold as "improving the company" yet revenues continue to decline YOY.

      Pros

      Good pay and decent benefits.

      Cons

      Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
