Pros

Good benefits, secure job, average pay, clean easy work environment.

Cons

3m has become to average, and fails to attract top talent any more. There are still great people working here, but the culture is starting to shift to hiring quantity over quality. There are simply to many people hired into middle management, making it hard to make and execute decisions and plans efficiently. 3M has to many employees overall, and should place more responsibility on the ones they have that are skilled and pay them better to keep them around.

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.
