      Pros

      3M is an interesting, exciting, and fun place to work. With different divisions, it encompasses all job types from medical to chemical, research and development, international, administrative, and many others. I truly enjoyed working there and learned so much using machines and processes I would never have been able to use while attending college.

      Cons

      While working in the Research and Development area, I found the majority of the people I worked with to have trouble interacting with others. I believe this is because the majority of the people I worked with were PhDs and were very very very focused on their work. However, I couldn't even get a friendly hello out of them in the hallway. This social ineptitude showed in our meetings and management strategies as the meetings dragged on and very little got accomplished.

      Pros

      I think overall there is a sense of family within the work group. People are helpful, and I have not found it to be a cut throat place to work. People support jobs well done and encourage areas of growth.

      Cons

      Sometimes management is a little slow to make decisions, and I agree with the previous review that decisions are sometimes reactive as opposed to proactive. I also think that they need to pay closer attention to the opinions of those closer to the process as they are the experts.
