Pros

Decent benefits (insurance, etc) Nice external branding Some friendly people

Cons

3M claims to want new ideas but existing infrastructure, process and cultural deadweight is anchor around neck of company 20+ years behind in tech adoption No interest or investment in advancing (color tv is probably just a fad thinking) Pension creates welfare state for old timers Promote from within boys club hobbles any real hope for change and demoralizes people who could help

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
