Pros

Hard to think of any

Cons

Company whose philosophy is trap you in your position for a whole career. It's hard to explain, but everyone working at 3M more than 3 years is dead inside. No lateral mobility for jobs, all an old boys club where decisions are made without data, I haven't regretted a single day since leaving.

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.
