Pros

Nothing in particular. Its a sleepy organization which will offer you decent work life balance with no desire to improve

Cons

It only rewards loyalty and most of the senior managers are old 3Mers who have only seen 3M and are completely unaware of whats happening outside the world. They invariably will favour their old employees over new ones for only one reason i.e. loyalty even if they do not have any talent or desire to improve the 3M process. I think worst is 3M supply chain which is headed by an old timer who would go to any length to ensure metrics look good even though its wrong or fudged. Completely unethical. This is one of the reason very few lateral hires stay beyond 1-2 years in 3M supply chain.i
