Pros

Pays a decent salary and you can get some real engineering experience while looking elsewhere for a real engineering job. Tons of equipment to use on the Maplewood campus.

Cons

No benefits included at the job. Would have been nice to have some health-care or retirement package to keep employees interested in the company. Many old timers are expected to retire early due to the economy.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off

Cons

The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
