Pros

Large company with good benefits. Lot's of upward mobility if you are a high performer and willing to live/work in the corporate offices in MN. If you are into manufacturing, supply chain, or a scientist, this is the place to be.

Cons

110 year old company with a 100 year old business model. They keep trying to break into software and solutions. They do by acquiring software companies and then putting Six Sigma black belts with 40 years of assembly line manufacturing experience in charge of the business. The business unit then fails or struggles in the market as they are forced to conform to 3M's century old culture. If you are in the tech industry beware trying to further your career working at this company.

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.
