Pros

Amazing colleagues and great products

Cons

Terrible management, half the workforce is kept on a contract to contract cycle for as many years as 3M can legally get away from it. No HR support for contract workers who are treated like second class citizens.

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.
