It's a great place to work if you like R&D

Pros

Incredibly friendly people. Everyone is willing to take time out of work to help you out. The managers are great too. Plenty of divisions to explore and people to network with.

Cons

Not the most exciting place to live. R&D can be a bit slow or require repetition in work. Sometimes feel lost or disconnected from others in such a large company.

Pros

I've had overall pretty positive experience with 3M. In research, you're given a lot of schedule flexibility, you feel valued and respected. Yet most research programs are quite short-term, and longer-term opportunities even those with high potential are not appreciated as much.

Cons

Even if you're considered a high potential researcher as I have been throughout most of my 3M career, you have limited opportunities for growth if you're working on longer-term projects.
