Constant lay offs

Pros

I've worked here for over 5 years and went through the 3M to Solventum transition. Benefits were truly great and my co-workers were amazing. Flexible time off policy

Cons

In 5 years we've gone through 4 or 5 rights of lay offs. They prioritize short term financial gains over employees, product development, and client success. They have "restructured" our teams 1 to 3 times a year including several lay offs - during people to bring back old positions there were eliminated and people lost their jobs over previously. When I started 5 years ago, our product had over 100 people across all departments, it's less then 50 now. My old team went from 25ish to 8.

Pros

good pay and great coworkers

Cons

Agree with other engineers, quality of life is gone, benefits being reduced to "align with industry", Managers are slow to respond to issues and make promises they never keep. Career growth is gone, and Lateral jobs moves seem nonexistent. Staff shortage seems prevalent is all areas, and very seldom do new employees get hired to help. I think Solventum could have been a great company, but the current track is downhill, the company is growing at the expense of the workers.

Pros

Really friendly people, work moves slow so you can have a great work/life balance, WFH is very flexible, benefits and bonus are pretty great

Cons

Even if you ask, you will never get a raise or job grade bump. The only way is to apply for another job within the company (switch teams) or to leave for a few years and come back. I thought I was paid really well until I left. Can be boring at times for a designer - very monotonous and ticket-taking type assignments. Lots of page layout wireframing or building in Adobe EM, rarely designing something new. Not much transparency when announcements are coming, portions of company are being sold, and layoffs can be sudden.
