Pros

3M offers good opportunities for internal advancement. It also has an unusually friendly corporate culture. With a global reach, it is also pretty good to get experience of an international community.

Cons

Not enough outside talent is brought in, 3M mostly relies on promoting from within and not back-filling. This means that it can be very hard to get traction in using modern business methods that have widespread acceptance outside the company.
