Pros

3M is strong financially, has great products, and is a great place if you want to stay with one company your entire career. Good work life balance and potential for a diverse set of careers and travel opportunities for those who stand out.

Cons

For young professionals on the business side, this is not the place where you will pushed or developed to excel at the highest level at the beginning of your career or compensated as such. Not that 3M is a bad place to work for 95% of people, but I would not put them in the same class as Google, Bain, or Nike in terms of prestige or the responsibility they give young professionals.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
