Pros

Legacy of science and technology that’s yielded innovative products. Technology is utilized across multiple product portfolios creating leverage. Supply Chain footprint allows for scale. Committed employees called 3M’ers are loyalist. Customers historically have valued and depended on 3M products to advance their businesses, products and home needs.

Cons

Company continues to underperform (stock price at 8 year low) with frequent organizational, strategy and priority changes. On-going senior leadership changes make for a lack of continuity, Internal malalignment has a cascading affect on organizational moral, effectiveness and productivity. Company is losing customer loyalty due to inability to met demand and service levels. Company has significant environmental (everlasting chemicals) and product litigation risk.

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
