Opportunities to develop and install solutions for technical problems.

company culture is innovation and collaborative

Diversity inclusion, true leadership development and growth mindset

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.

Better balance for your home life

Fairness and equality toward all employees.

Change CEO's & other Upper management under him

No one is stupid , market dynamics are high and your are truthful to yourself and your employees. Leadership is lost in numerous things rather than clarity of thought and sustained action..

To be more fair and open

put employees at a level where profits are not the only company goal.

Be more open about acknowledging challenges we are facing. Be willing to adjust external stakeholder expectations that enable investments that are further out than 6-12 months.

Improved communication. Appreciation for employees. It would also help if there was attention put on why attrition was so high.

Review from Executive Dept

Boss that works with employees better

Review from Engineering Dept

3M claims to be family friendly but many are required to work 60 plus hours per week and employees are afraid of losing their job if they dont

Review from Operations Dept

Just walk the walk, do what we say, lead with integrity and be transparent. Being open and honest will keep folks happy.

Review from Operations Dept

Change in management. No turnover so culture never changes. Especially in middle management. New ideas and suggestions needed with input from rank and file.

Review from Operations Dept

Work environment is very comfortable and I love going to work everyday.

Review from Operations Dept

Quit with the moral busting, as long as the products are getting made and the machines are running safely. Let the workers sing, let them enjoy there time at work. A happy worker is a productive worker.

Review from Product Dept

They force us to work 7 days a week, even taking our holidays. The only way we get a day or full 2 day weekend off is to use our precious vacation time. We are forced in on weekends, only to not have much to do during the work week. That needs to change now, no matter what.
