Pros

I've had overall pretty positive experience with 3M. In research, you're given a lot of schedule flexibility, you feel valued and respected. Yet most research programs are quite short-term, and longer-term opportunities even those with high potential are not appreciated as much.

Cons

Even if you're considered a high potential researcher as I have been throughout most of my 3M career, you have limited opportunities for growth if you're working on longer-term projects.

Pros

Benefits are good. Pay is decent people are fairly nice

Cons

Go above an beyond just once and instead of being grateful, they expect it all the time. management Runs too lean for the sake of larger bonuses for themselves, while running the little people into the ground. treat temps like they are disposable Pay is good, but when you realize that you are doing the work of 3 people, It doesn't seem that good
