Pros

Great work life balance, benefits, opps. Culture is great and wonderful, smart, and talented people to work with. Love it!

Cons

It is a company that rewards seniority a lot of times which can make it difficult to advance or come in from outside at a more senior grade level.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, culture of innovation, open to new ideas/different ways of thinking, many different opportunities. The company is so well-diversified that there are many different career paths one can take.

Cons

HQ in St Paul, MN & lots of locations in undesirable places to live, frequent supervisor/leadership changes, not very good with IT or rapid technology changes. Hard to achieve significant pay raises - annual reviews are more about the business conditions & less about individual's strong contributions.

Flexible and nice!

Pros

3M offers very flexible and friendly work place for its employees. Ideas are valued and encouraged so that is always nice but the biggest perk for me is the flexible work schedule.

Cons

The pay is ok but the benefits package (atleast for my level) suck so maybe that would be an area to improve on.
