Pros

ANZ Organization was good place to work with great culture, people and opportunities to learn and develop until 2019, Great learning and development opportunity if you take initiative and depending which business you are in out of 26 + different business divisions. Opportunities to move within divisions to learn different industries. Great functional support and often exercise open door policy, Well structured, with accountability. Pay may not be great at times however overall package is good including hidden benefits such as accrued medical leave. Great place for a new starters, offers great exposure. Used to be a place people join and stay until retire, If you fit in, you will be there for a long time if not you will leave in under 3 years. Company with strong ethics and compliance.

Cons

Can be highly bureaucratic with a lot of unwanted red tape that can come in the way of growth and customer satisfaction delivery, A lot of process to get anything done, Situation became worse after 2019 with great global restructured approach with Adv. 3M, however with very poor execution. Became very short term focused and seem to have lost its way and relevance after 2019. Despite all processes in place, makes a mess out of acquisitions, either ends up ruining the business acquired or ends up impacting the entire organization. Only a few acquisitions turned out to be successful. HR project teams handling divestitures at US H/O level are one of the worst,

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
