Pros
Good opportunities has far as projects Decent pay for the most part but the they do not account for cost of living, National average according to 3M Lots of Training if you want it and if management thinks you need it You make it your own
Cons
Seems like you really have to kiss managements butt in a good way to get the promotion They really just want yes men/women, they do not like people questioning management ideas, even if it will hurt us in the long run Engineers do not make good managers, they are good engineers/workers, doesn't mean they will be good managers Managers really only seem to be interested in moving up themselves No managers from what I have seen seem to be interested in giving honest feedback nor do I think they know how to approach it 3M is good if you want to be an engineer/scientist all your career, but for managing/leading people they lack training and guidance
