Pros

The people are truly talented great people. I have worked for 3M for 13 years and it was overall a positive experience that developed my skill sets.

Cons

The compensation is not appropriate based on the level compared to other industries. Promotional opportunites are highly political versus based on overall capability.

Pros

A career at 3M from right out of school is the best path with this organization. They promote longevity in their staff and there are many 20 year employees. This is a very inventive company and thus the career paths are endless.

Cons

Working in a huge organization can often make one feel like a small fish in a very big pond.

Pros

3M's vast number of divisions provides an excellent platform for one to gain a broad-based exposure in the industry one's interested in.

Cons

Some macromanagement from supervisors, a tad too much politics involved between different departments imo.. salary's average for such a MNC
