Pros

Friendly coworkers, great work-life balance. As long as you get your work done management is cool with it. New laptops every few years. Really good about getting you whatever office supplies you need.

Cons

3M has had several rounds of layoffs over the years. They recently got out of the fluorochemical business due to the PFAS litigation dragging them down. More layoffs to come as they consolidate chemical production to fewer plants.

Pros

Good management and good training

Cons

Lack of opportunities/promotions within the organisation. Used to have more flexibility, now everyone must be in the office 4-days per week.
