Pros

It was a great company that seemed to value its employees, but it started to change even though profits have been very good for a very long time. I cannot believe that 3M put me on the street in my 50s.

Cons

It is not the same 3M that I knew. There has been a complete change in attitude toward employee retention. If you are 45, your days are numbered and look for a "fresh out" to replace you with a slightly different job description. May the same thing happen to top leaders of 3M. Yes, I am disgruntled.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
