Pros

Compensation and smart people! Lots of people with 30+ years years of service and they have incredible pride in the company

Cons

Leadership is too heavy and have a difficult time letting go of making every decision. Resourcing is extremely slim (both people and budget). They pay very well which gets new hires in the door but experienced hires don’t stay long in this old school environment

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
