Pros

A career at 3M from right out of school is the best path with this organization. They promote longevity in their staff and there are many 20 year employees. This is a very inventive company and thus the career paths are endless.

Cons

Working in a huge organization can often make one feel like a small fish in a very big pond.

Pros

The opportunities, career advancement and the family friendly enivorment. Great management is a key to work for a large company that treat employee like a number.

Cons

I feel need more room to grow. You feel like you in a large bird in a small cage. You can't open your wings to fly.
