Pros

Good people, enthusiasm about science and creativity can be found everywhere, good benefits and salary, good access to equipment and helpful machine shop workers, new employee employee resource network really helps meet people across company, most experienced scientists are more than willing to meet with you and help you if they can

Cons

Managers are increasingly unwilling to take risks on innovative ideas- many great product ideas are getting shelved for lack of division support- some buildings become silos if one does not take the initiative to meet other people in other divisions- a lot of manager turnover makes it difficult to get promoted- teams are increasingly selected based on skill set rather than who works well together-

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.
