Vantaggi
- People: You can find nice, kind and supportive people here. I worked with many departments and moved to worked under different teams within this 4 years, all of my supervisors are super supportive, motivating and always provided feedback for improvement. People here are very respectful and have good attitude at work. I can say that company is lucky to have greatest employees who make a good working environment. - opportunity: As it is Global company, you will have opportunities to work with people from many countries. My recent team members are from different 5 countries, I can learned a lot from them. This is a good experience. - Ethics and Compliance: This company have a solid policy about compliance (at least in my local office), I did not face any of issues in my office’s life.
Svantaggi
- Career path : It’ s hard to see your career path here especially in support function. My last role before resignation already transfer to GSC (Global Service Center), they did not hire new worker to replace me, that make me feel like if I still work here, I need to move to other functions over and over to find secure place that GSC cannot replacing me. - Globalization model : Not only work processing and policy but including organization structure. I was separated from local team and changed to under Asia team with just 1 week notice. I cannot help feel isolated and not enjoy working as a team like before. - System : Too many systems to work with just for one tasks, each systems are not sync and process owner is from different departments, so you need to work on many steps and contact many person to just completed 1 tasks. Everytimes, they tried to change process flow and make an excuse that to reduce local tasks, they just make the flow more complicated and local have more admin tasks to work. - Work load: If you think 3M is a big company, so it must have many people work for each scope, you might disappointed. It’s really hard to request more headcount. Work overtime is a required, even company try to value work life balance but the work can’t be done easily especially in this year which many countries are preparing to transform to SAP. - Reorganization, mental support : Company has rapidly changed. Some departments were terminated from reorganization and many employees were unhired to maintain company’s profit number statistics. Mental support should process by local team, mental issues is somehow globalized but actually it more sensitive and complex (most of them related with culture, situation of each country) and make sure to have psychology’s expert to support mental issues not just hire people who dont have psychology background to work for this area.
