Pros

The way 3M motivates you to take initiative is amazing. It simply holds you accountable from the work you are doing. Company encourages you to make mistakes and learn from your mistakes. (as long as you are not doing the same mistake again)

Cons

Company leaves day to day and the decisions management take are the biggest obstacles against the company to grow. Cutting budgets for the sake of saving today and without thinking about the future doees not help at all.
