Pros

Great place to work for until management cuts "structural overhead" to satisfy Wall Street. Great salary and benefits for full time employees.

Cons

Structural overhead is not managers like they release to the press but workers who are close to retirement or who's job can be replaced by a cheaper contract worker. No long term goals outside of growing the business at 10% a year. Everything is a short term goal to appease Wall Street. If sales are down slightly compared to "growth targets" projects are cut and people are laid off even if the project has excellent long term growth opportunities.

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.
