3M – “Time to get rid of the fat and start building a strong team that makes courageous decisions and leads by example.”
Pros
Benefits and pay. Old, established company that does not take risks so you are unlikely to be let go
Cons
Old, established company with old, established management. No diversity, almost all management is older, white males. They treat women very badly and it's obvious. The Management prefers boot lickers who agree with them to performers who may have more updated ideas.
Advice to Senior Management
They need to get rid of the middle management level. Far to fat in directors and VP's. Need to get rid of about 1/2. Start with the ones who refuse any change in their areas and keep moving through.
