Pros

Good first or second job for resume building. If you originate from Minnesota you odds are better for advancement.

Cons

One person doing the job of three due to many cutbacks over the last decade. Moral is lousy, contrary to the "studies" that 3M mgmt refers to on a frequent basis. Pay raises, if any, are very low. Via HR guidelines, job performance ratings are kept down in order to keep pay raises down as well. Happens across the board. Performance appraisal process is rigged to the core, I was part of it!

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.
