3M Employee Reviews for Electrical Engineer

"Great company with good management, but advancement is rare."

What do you like about working at 3M?

"Very progressive, stimulating environment for an inventor. Great opportunities if you invent something that becomes a hit product."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Academia is highly revered. Push your education as best as you can."

What don't you like about working at 3M?

"Advancement was either by getting academic degrees, or inventing something that becomes a hit product. But, it is a very exciting place to work. You can learn about other technologies, much like a college campus."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Great management handling of associates. Try to encourage risk taking with some benefits that will translate into freedom to try out new ideas. There is a perceived uncaring by management (i.e., why should I try to invent something to benefit 3M, but nothing in it for me?)."
