Pros

Decent benefits, not stellar, longevity of employees

Cons

90% of technical managers have little to no technical competence. No technical leadership, vision, or drive. 3M is a manufacturing business and corporate does not understand a software business. It shows in many facets.

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.
