      3M is a typical large corporation

      Pros

      It’s a big company, so there is a lot of room to move around and lots of opportunities. 3M is big into advanced education so the tuition reimbursement is second to none. In truth, if you work hard and do a good job of networking there are opportunities to grow and advance.

      Cons

      Because of it's size it can be very difficult to get notice, you really do have to network. It is very much who you know not what. There are also a lot of people hiding out waiting to retire. The evaluation system is complete BS, ratings are based on almost everything but performance.

      Pros

      Great opportunity for advancement, and a huge selection of fields to choose from. 3M is one of the most diverse companies I've seen. If you can handle working for a very large company then this is one of the top companies to work for.

      Cons

      It's a large company, so there are a lot of rules and policies which can be good and bad. Otherwise, I haven't seen any issues.

      Pros

      The benefits, flexibility and job opportunities made 3M a great place to work. I enjoyed the majority of my time there.

      Cons

      Not much. Sometimes felt that management was top heavy. Everyone seemed to be in a manager position and I would be reporting to several different people on different projects.
