Pros

Cool manufacturing and development technologies available for cutting edge product and manufacturing method development with a vast range of product portfolios. There is something to interest everyone at 3M. Great culture that supports discovery and cross-functional collaboration. Flexible work opportunities available, pretty good 'soft' benefits like parental leave, lots of sick time, options to work remotely, etc.

Cons

Has the downfalls of almost every large, fortune 500 tech company - lots of standards and regulations, hoops to jump through and slow to change. As all technical fields, still a very old and male-dominated workforce though as a general rule, people are very welcoming (maybe Minnesota Nice comes into play here).

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
