"I've been working for 3M Company since 2014 and I found the project that I am working on to be challenging. We, as a whole team, are very motivated to get the things done and quickly absorb the new processes that allows for better productivity. I have been moving out from SDLC and going into Agile-Scrum for the past 3 years with a phased approach of adding epics & features and plannings related to that. The work life balance is amazing. Technology-wise, 3M does move a bit slowly as compared to the retail giants in outside world, but they do catch up quickly. I would highly recommend 3M."

"Great place to work with lots of experiences and opportunities"

"The company has quite a few interesting technical platforms that can be utilized to developing interesting products. There are many good people who are experts in their field. The project manager structure is not efficient and somewhat discouraging, as the PMs are not hands-on and not the real experts in the field, but they are in charge. Average people look up to them, instead of real expertise. Just a bit too much politics."

"Generally speaking, I enjoyed working at 3M."
