Pros

Good company to work for. Good benefits.

Cons

The company seems to buy up other small companies to expand business. When they buy a company that is involved with software, be careful. 3M does not have a clue how to manage software. Paint, materials, physical machines, consumer products - all yes. But software, they don't know what they are doing. They will buy a company with a software product. Say they will let them use agile processes, but then the MANY layers of management are all the traditional waterfall method. After buying the company, spending a lot of money on the software development, they lay off all the people and throw away the software product. I've seen this happen twice.
