Pros

There are some really great people within the organization that have a wealth of knowledge to share and really support you in your professional growth. Good pay, benefits, and depending on the team and those leading the I think there can be a good work life balance.

Cons

Toxic leaders can be found throughout the departments. Spinoff pressures have only made that toxicity spread and create a fear culture where no and boundaries (tasks way outside scope of your position) cease to exist. Largest issue present is individual team members often lead things and the managers have zero accountability. Growth even for those team leads is impossible because you’re too valuable to promote. This supports a culture of do nothing and your promotable versus lead various engagements carry the weight of those not doing the job and keep doing that for 20+ yrs. Also, I did indicate the salary is good but the performance review process and the goes above and beyond rating is a sick joke. You could be the best and be phenomenal but you won’t get promoted for 3 years and you can’t skip job grades even when your performing usually 2 grades above.

Pros

Working from home is default CEO has good presentation skills

Cons

Feels like it is owned by a venture capitalist that buys companies to split them apart to sell. CEOs optimism about future for Solvers lands flat, with many laid off each year. No stability. Layoffs, selling of business units, more layoffs. For an employee, you don't feel very valued even though the company maintains it is "people first"

Pros

- Great compensation - Passionate and kind teammates - Ability to work remote

Cons

- Upper management used our team to spin off the company, for which we had to work on weekends at times, and laid off a bunch of our teammates after they completed the spin off. Teammates who were crucial for the process as well. A lot of people laid off had been with 3M/Solventum for more than 5 years, even 15. -They don't know what they want. That means that we're constantly having to redo work and do so without much time. -The lack of respect for our time from upper management has driven many coworkers to quit due to burnout and pressure. -Not many upward movement opportunities. Those are being filled in my external hires.
