Pros

3M is involved in a wide variety of technology platforms, which means a scientist or engineer can work in different fields throughout his/her career. It also means that it is possible to transfer between divisions when you need a change!

Cons

Unfortunately, the promotions/rewards system currently in place do not encourage long term high-risk research as much as short term, low-risk projects.
