Pros

Excellent benefits, ability to work remotely,

Cons

Leadership manages up. The company is going through transition handling a lot of litigation and breaking off its healthcare division. (This is all public information per each earnings call.) Meanwhile, it makes for a paranoid workforce. Leadership used to be kind and understanding but now many are difficult and ruthless. They don’t share objectives and direction downstream.

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
