Pros

Salary and benefits are acceptable on paper.

Cons

The workload, lack of support, and overall environment make the compensation feel not worth it. Due to globalisation, managers are often based outside the UK and don’t fully understand UK employment rules, which creates ongoing issues with policies and accessing UK specific benefits. Questioning decisions or policies is consistently a struggle. Support is limited and often replaced with micromanagement. The Bracknell office lacks facilities which makes the enforced return to office frustrating. Speaking up about concerns can result in being singled out rather than supported.

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
