Pros
I think the company is transforming in a positive way. Upper management appears to have a vision, is relatable, and says the right things. Time will tell how successful it is. Mission-focused company with an easy mission to get behind. Good benefits and pay. Sunshine Fridays (half days on Fridays in summer)! People are very willing to collaborate if approached.
Cons
Going to be in transition for a while, I think particularly in R&D. Lots of work going into disentangling from 3M. Vision is trickling down slowly. 1 year post-spin, it is still difficult to know what to work on and what will be prioritized (prioritization is happening and will be communicated, but slow). In the midst of an innovation culture change from 3M innovation model to something more sustainable for a less diverse company. Company can feel a bit siloed at times and hard to know what is going on across the company.
