Pros

Wonderful benefits, educated and professional workforce, opportunity for advancement. Good company with great culture.

Cons

More tenured employees on past pension plan are understandably hesitant to leave (and lose their pension). For these employees, career move options are within 3M only. Many are at higher levels making it more difficult to break out of what they know. Most are knowledgable and great employees but in some cases these people ought to be moving on from what they have been doing. And can't/don't because they are tied to 3M.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
