Pros

Great Benefits and BIG Company so you can move around once you get tired of management

Cons

Under paid everywhere. Women have to fight 3x as hard to get promoted. Minorities are hard to come by in this company. It is a Boys Frat Club in upper management. If your parent worked for 3M, doesn't matter if you know what 2+2 is, you are bound to get hired and promoted faster than more capable people and WOMEN.

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.
