      The possibilities are truly endless, but it's up to you to deliver and take advantage of them!

      Pros

      Truly innovative company that allows and expects you to become an expert in new markets and technologies. If you are genuinely curious, willing to work hard, and not waste time playing internal games, you can accomplish great things at 3M.

      Cons

      3M offers a ton of freedom, both in how you work and with whom you work. That's a good thing, but it's also a challenge, because sometimes it's hard to tell who are the people who you can trust to be focused on developing products and technologies that matter, vs. just playing games to look good to management. If you get stuck with the game players, it's really hard to make progress.

      Pros

      The pay is very good. Overtime is always there if you like it. The benefits are very good.

      Cons

      Poor hours and constant forced over time with short notice. No recognition and very poor and unreasonable management, which creates a very negative environment. Very little room for advancement. Strict and senseless safety rules and unreasonable productivity systems that are designed to 'weed' out employees. Very little training, and have to figure out most stuff on your own. Favoritism and workplace politics poison the environment further. Experience and loyalty mean nothing and they will get rid of you in a heartbeat because of the high pay and enormous scale of applicants.
