SURVEY SAYS


The natives are not restless

One 3M veteran, who's been at the company since the 1960s, says that 3M "is a great company to work for. I have actually changed careers several times, and found this very invigorating." Meanwhile, a colleague says, "I do know of several people who have left 3M for the greener grass only to wish they could return." She goes on to add, "3M is truly a fantastic company to work for. The benefits are the best I've ever heard of. The culture is one of fostering personal and career growth. Promotions are usually from within and your manager can play a big role in supporting you." A member of the finance department notes that his managers have "good policies & forward thinking."
