Best company to work for... if you only want to go with the flow

Pros

Great people, good conditions, a lot of training, great possibility to move laterally or higher levels.

Cons

No accountability (which is great when you're not good because it is pretty rare 3M will fire someone). Even though 3M likes to believe they are innovative, the real innovations often come from acquisition. "Red tape" is heavy. Because of the culture of 0-risk, decisions are often not taken bu low management because of their lack of experiences which slow down by far introduction of new products.
