Pros

Great benefits! Things are constantly changing so there is always something new to learn. 3Mers are generally very smart and motivated..a great place to be if you like to be motivated by your peers!

Cons

Seems training for managers/skill levels for supervisors/new managers varies a lot throughout the company. A manager with poor communication/interpersonal skills can really negatively impact your experience. Additionally, if you are not in a business group it can feel like you are out of the loop on what the priorities are. There are also a lot of reorgs, so the constant changing can mentally challenging if you don't like change.

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
