There are legitimately nice, kind people working at 3M. I worked for 4-5 bosses in 5 years (in a number of roles) and really enjoyed working for all of them. They usually make good, quality products (although this is starting to wane in recent years).
Cons
They move too slow. There are so many 25+ year employees, so they don't want to move up young talent quickly. Therefore, there is a large amount of complacency in the organization. They do not have a modern selling or marketing strategy, very "old-school".

Pros
Good pay, benefits, and time off
Cons
The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
