What is the hiring process like at Solventum?

Supportive Leadership: The management team is approachable and genuinely cares about employee development. They provide regular feedback and opportunities for growth. Collaborative Culture: The work environment is inclusive and encourages teamwork. Colleagues are friendly, and there’s a strong sense of camaraderie. Innovative Tools: Solventum invests in the latest recruitment technologies, making the recruitment process efficient and streamlined. Work-Life Balance: The company promotes a healthy work-life balance, allowing flexibility in scheduling and remote work options.

At times, the workload can be overwhelming, especially during peak hiring seasons. However, this is typical in recruitment and is manageable with good time management.

There are some really great people within the organization that have a wealth of knowledge to share and really support you in your professional growth. Good pay, benefits, and depending on the team and those leading the I think there can be a good work life balance.

Toxic leaders can be found throughout the departments. Spinoff pressures have only made that toxicity spread and create a fear culture where no and boundaries (tasks way outside scope of your position) cease to exist. Largest issue present is individual team members often lead things and the managers have zero accountability. Growth even for those team leads is impossible because you’re too valuable to promote. This supports a culture of do nothing and your promotable versus lead various engagements carry the weight of those not doing the job and keep doing that for 20+ yrs. Also, I did indicate the salary is good but the performance review process and the goes above and beyond rating is a sick joke. You could be the best and be phenomenal but you won’t get promoted for 3 years and you can’t skip job grades even when your performing usually 2 grades above.

Smooth Onboarding process by the team and Induction programs conducted well.

Joined newly, nothing much as of now

- Remote friendly (the reason I stayed as long as I did) - Some pretty cool products well loved in the industry - Some (unfortunately not as many anymore) great people to work with - Great 401k. Decent benefits overall from 3M.

Everyone has change fatigue, after so much at 3M and then constant change at Solventum. It's still much harder than it needs to be to do your job, much like it was at 3M. Everything is overly complicated, not customer or patient centric at all. Because of all the change, management is constantly changing so if you're not super well networked and willing to move around divisions and roles you'll suffer. The marketing org in particular is a hot mess with an organization that makes little sense and very little budget to do anything meaningful, with leaders who understand nothing. A reorg was promised in July, but had not yet happened in October and shifted back when they hired new senior leaders (yet retained the mid-level doing the same job, so odd). Overly reliant on consultancies to tell them what to do rather than asking the questions themselves. No manager training, in general and in particular in support of managing employee leaves. When I came back from parental leave, my manager didn't even know I was back - and we'd been texting semi-regularly. Budgets are constantly cut, much like they were at 3M, yet earnings calls state things are going fine. Well, they're not if you're constantly cutting the budget. Makes it very hard to run a business and grow.

Remote work. Good pay and benefits

New company and processes are still a work in process.
