Pros

Technology company with a fascinating and constantly-evolving product line Smart employees who are creative problem solvers Excellent work-life balance, as 3M wants you to be able to at least consider spending your entire career there Potential for international travel and assigments

Cons

There can be a lot of bureaucracy, as with any large multi-national company Loyalty to their employees sometimes extends too far, and so they are very reluctant to fire low-performers Don't always seem to value experience outside 3M

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.
