Pros

Historically a great company to work for. Good culture, and 3M prides itself in being an "ethical" company. It used to be very stable, with decent work-life balance. Lots of great employee resources, training courses and development opportunities. Huge scale and room to grow and move around in your career. Much of this remains true, but recent changes have moved things in a negative direction, with little hope of recovery any time soon.

Cons

Leadership things re-org-ing is the solution to everything. So tone deaf to reality and the high mental health cost. I thought I was a valued employee, but the latest changes were dehumanizing and made me feel like a cog in the machine. Jobs were cut so recklessly that our division is barely functional anymore.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
