Pros

Technology company with a fascinating and constantly-evolving product line Smart employees who are creative problem solvers Excellent work-life balance, as 3M wants you to be able to at least consider spending your entire career there Potential for international travel and assigments

Cons

There can be a lot of bureaucracy, as with any large multi-national company Loyalty to their employees sometimes extends too far, and so they are very reluctant to fire low-performers Don't always seem to value experience outside 3M

Pros

a chance for a lot of overtime, and a chance to earn a fair, competitive salary.

Cons

you feel like a slave. I worked four months in a row with a total of four days off work. Their approach is: if you don't do it, we'll find someone who will. You might as well give up any family, life, or happiness if you work here.
