Manufacturing company, not a software company

Pros

Decent benefits, not stellar, longevity of employees

Cons

90% of technical managers have little to no technical competence. No technical leadership, vision, or drive. 3M is a manufacturing business and corporate does not understand a software business. It shows in many facets.
