Pros
3M has about 25 divisions (though this number has been shrinking) which gives plenty of opportunity to move around and gain new experiences. You can't get bored here in a marketing/business management role, if you do it's your own fault.
Cons
Relentless focus on quarterly targets, little room for true long term strategic planning, fairly high level of bureaucracy and lack of accountability due to matrix structure (product division / geographic subsidiary)
