Pros

Great people and technology, good opportunities to learn and grow. Competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Male dominated culture. Lots of clicks, managers promote their buddies. Mid-level managers have giant egos and are not afraid to sabotage female and minority employees if their egos are threatened. Upper level management either are clueless or prefer not to do anything about the abuses.

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
