      Pros

      multiple opportunities for advancement. good ethical business practices. good pay and vacation/time off policies. good benefits package.

      Cons

      It's a global publicly held company, so expect corporate politics and regard for the shareholder. If you want to advance in the company, expect to be asked to do the job of 2-3 people for the salary of one.

      Great company to work for if you want to spend the rest of your life in Saint Paul, Minnesota or Austin, Texas.

      Pros

      Large company with good benefits. Lot's of upward mobility if you are a high performer and willing to live/work in the corporate offices in MN. If you are into manufacturing, supply chain, or a scientist, this is the place to be.

      Cons

      110 year old company with a 100 year old business model. They keep trying to break into software and solutions. They do by acquiring software companies and then putting Six Sigma black belts with 40 years of assembly line manufacturing experience in charge of the business. The business unit then fails or struggles in the market as they are forced to conform to 3M's century old culture. If you are in the tech industry beware trying to further your career working at this company.
