What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Not just giving customers lip service.
Everything was too short of a response so I had to add this extra text.
Listening to employees and customers. Knowing what the truth is in the marketplace and not theorizing on a white board. Incredible disconnect with the real world.
Understanding how our company actually makes money and develops new products and technologies!
Meaningful organic growth and attractive place to work and retain technical employees
What is the best part about your compensation package?
401k matching rate for 3% contribution.
The benefits and basic salary
Review from Marketing Dept
Pay based on contribution and bonus is good
The compensation is more than fair.
I get paid on time
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I need to be better compensated to deal with C suite shenanigans
The benefits are average as we were told by a senior vice president. The pay itself isn't terrible but it doesn't make up for the dehumanization and terrible decision making being made.
I feel undervalued because my manager never really had a plan for me. I wanted to discuss goals with him but he never set any expectations for me because he never had a plan for me to begin with.
Comparative companies offer more compensation
They don't offer long term employees competitive wages.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Highly skilled craftsmen who are talented.
We work together on the daily
They are easily reachable and very helpful

Fri secure in the job, not afraid of being laid off every day.
Learn more and express ideas
Get better leadership....and more help
Focus on big picture and get the critical things done vs focusing on task that don't matter
Everyone is too scared to make s decision
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Emphasis on innovation and collaboration
I have been working full time local remote over 5 Years.
The freedom i get to perform my responbilities
Review from Marketing Dept
Half the workers still care.
Review from Product Dept
Work your way is great
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
restrictions on mandatory overtime. i've worked 200 overtime hours since the calendar year and it's only March.
New executive team with more competence
Change upper level people and team
More innovation less cancelled projects
Hold all employees to the same standard. More management involvement, team meetings would be beneficial on a ground level. Be quick to respond to employee concerns and reinforce the company policies.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Recruitment people and the HR team.
Three round interview and the final will be the presentation
They seemed to be genuinely interested in what I could bring to the table.
Have bot done interview recently
I got to meet about half of the (large) team I would be working with. It gave me tons of exposure to what I was getting into.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Be transparent open and honest verbally and in writing
The part in which they asked me to solve the Rubik's cube underwater was not very normal to me, but I guess it's a way to examine my problem solving - I wasn't able to complete the cube and needed to be medically attended for aspiration
What interview process, they just bring more of same
Lack of structure in the process
let new hires know what is expected
What makes you most happy at work?
Nothing right now. Being able to actually use development opportunities would help.
I can work remote to avoid commuting.
My peers, team, manager and compensation
As a company needs to improve our customer service.
Being successful on a personal level
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Improve quality and reduce prices
Executive leadership takes a beat down approach, are clearly only in their roles to enrich themselves and jump ship before it fails. Clean house and promote from within to people who have a vested interest in the long-term future of the company, opposed to the next earnings call.
You have to invest to grow, not cut and divide.
Be more customer driven listen what your customers tell you
3M has not stayed up with the times. They are falling farther & farther. Use to be company focused on R&D, not it's focused on sales. Company use to care about employees, not it
