Pros

Extremely ethical, moral and honest organization. One organization you do not have to wonder are they going to be around next week. Very stable. The leadership knows what to do as far as moving the company forward.

Cons

The only complaint is the lack of training. When you hire new staff you have to have a training program for your new people directly tied to the programs they will be using. Training is provided towards 3M as a whole but not towards your specific product.

Pros

Above average pay and employee stock purchase

Cons

Superficial goals surrounding sustainability & Employee Development. This company is an old boys club across the board. Management, is old aged and clueless in my area. Performance on 2-3 full time equivalent projects are demanded with ridiculous timelines (1/10th time of industry). Some groups (mine) are still trying to hire one person to work one position for their whole life. Organization as a whole is cutthroat, if you're a real jerk to everyone and good at pawning off your work on others and taking the credit, backstabbing every now and again, you may get somewhere. I've personally been blocked internally by my manager from applying to new jobs (puts in the bad word during hiring process) just so that he can keep me in his department. Couldn't be more unhappy.
