Pros

3M has some incredibly smart scientists and engineers. There are many diverse markets and technologies to suit any career interests.

Cons

Management from the top down is failing employees and shareholders. 3M is being seriously mismanaged. Top employees and experienced employees are leaving or have left, leaving more work piled on top of fewer and fewer workers with less and less experience. It's a terrible feedback loop.

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.
