Pros

Great exposure to many different industries. Wonderful co-workers. Excellent focus on product development.

Cons

Slow to promote. There are days when time stands still at 3M. It's challenging to stand out when middle managers are distracted with their own workloads and rely heavily on performance review forms. I think things will begin to change towards modernization when the people on the old pensions retire.

Pros

Great products and brand recognition. There are a lot of smart people that love to transfer knowledge. If you want to learn, 3M is a great place for you.

Cons

The culture has changed with the new CEO. The company became more aggressive towards driving revenue versus making innovative products. Also, many people have been upset with the end of remote work.
