Pros

Innovative company, many businesses that developed products that are important to other business operations.

Cons

The company has losts their way with only short term wall street focus. Since turning into a financial company vs. the original innovation company. Only way executive management knows to meet wall street demands are to eliminate jobs. Actual development of products, or innovation true to the core has all been reduced. Recycled executive team just brings that same ideas

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.
