3M Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details one interview for 15 min then one more with tests.

Interview Details standard

Interview Details Initial communication with the recruiter was abrasive. In person most employees were kind and thoughtful of the process. The process was stressful as it involved 2 panels and 3 1:1 interviews.

Interview Details 3 interviews: with HR, direct manager and CFO. terms were later discussed over the phone with HR.

Negotiation Details – I was offered what I asked for, so no negotiations were neccessary

Interview Details After applying they called with and had a phone interview to discuss my previous work experience and what I was looking for in a job. After that they flew me out to the site to meet with the people that were there and see if it was a good fit. The interview consisted mostly of behavioral questions and focused on previous experiences in work and in school.

Interview Details The interview took place on campus. Lasted about 1.5 hours. Questions were pretty straight forward, basically all fit questions such as 'tell me a situation in which you...'. The interviewer did refer to my resume and asked for past experiences. Overall good experience, but my guess is they did not extend an offer because I needed sponsorship for visa.

Interview Details I had a phone interview a few months after applying online which consisted mainly of behavioral questions and why I'd like that jobs. I was called a month later for an on-site interview - all expenses paid by 3M. They invited all of the candidates together, which is a bit unnerving. They had a rotated schedule between meeting with the bosses of the department, the hiring managers, and a tour of the facility. The people were all very nice, and you can tell that they very much instill the values of 3M.

Interview Details Approximately 60 days from application to first contact. All communication prior to site visit was via e-mail. Interviewed with 5 people over 4 1/2 hours. Was told when leaving to expect contact within 2 weeks, but they could work faster if I had a need. After 3 weeks I followed up with HR directly. HR stated that a decisionw as iminent "any day". No contact for another 10 days. Contacted HR when I had a second job offer and was told that I would hear back within 48 hours. It's now April and I haven't heard anything.

The site is a satellite facility and a wholly owned 3M LLC. It's apparent that the people on site have done more with less for a very long time. Everyone seemed willing to "do what it took" to get the job done. The commitment to process excellence was apparent, as was the understanding of the c ustomers served. I left believing this would be a place I really wanted to work - it's a shame the process took so long and expectations could not be clearly communicated.

I heard from another candidate that funding for the position was cut and it was going unfilled for at least three months. Would have been nice to hear that from HR directly.

Interview Details Everyone at 3M was really friendly. The interview process went very smoothly, except that it took a really long time. 6 months had passed between when I applied for the job and my first day of work.
