Pros

Easy life, slow project movements, not hard to please management, good benefits

Cons

Being in Minnesota, very hard to convince management to do something new, all the major projects taken by people already at high positions. Mentoring is only a name and followed by few senior level scientists. Most of the scientists are looking to become part of important projects and have their name connected to them. New employees (doesn't matter how good they are) are always seen as secondary inventors, even if everything was their idea. Huge race in technologists to come up with new ideas, so lot of instances of stealing ideas, snatching credits etc.

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.
