Pluspunten
- Very flexible working arrangements not only during the peak of the COVID pandemic but also following this on a permanent basis.
Minpunten
*Not offered an exit interview so 3M Singapore, consider this my feedback* - Leadership is extremely disconnected from the face of the business and is clueless as to how the industry operates. - Continual restructuring to the point that many people do not know what their actual job function is. - Globally led marketing strategies with little to no empowerment of staff at a Regional or Country level in being able to customise to their needs. - Many ill qualified people in senior positions that appear to have been rewarded for length of service as opposed to being the right person for the job. Same people being pushed around into different positions on a regular basis. - Continual fear of loosing your job through thousands of job cuts over 2 - 3 years. - Terrible recruitment strategies and non-existent retention strategies. - Zero team building or company organised social activities. Not even remote events during COVID. - Zero ongoing professional development. - Despite being told of great career opportunities, these do not exist. - Terrible work culture and expectation to work grossly extended hours and over weekends and public holidays with no appetite from management to fix this. - Culture elements such as 'customer at the core' are simply ignored in day to day business. - Over complicated and bureaucratic processes which prevent the company from being responsive to customer and industry needs. - Many staff who simply will not do their assigned job functions and Managers that do nothing to resolve this. - Focus is on share price and nothing else. - Innovation is dead. The company now just acquires technology and companies to broaden its portfolios. - Employee time is wasted on unnecessary administrative tasks that appease leadership and hinder people's ability to sell. - Zero performance feedback and prolonged periods of zero interaction with Manager. - Sales staff feel like they are disposable assets. - Management that values sales performance and personal friendships ahead of objective investigation and management of individuals who bully other employees and perpetuate a toxic work culture. - Many other reasons why working for this company was the worst mistake of my life.
