Good benefits package Knowleageble colleagues Stunning innovation center

Cons

Passive-aggressive culture Lack of diversity in middle and upper management Unmotivated and subpar employees regardless of function Limited growth and development opportunities and likelihood of being managed by someone who is not supportive of career growth. Unprofessional behavior (e.g. discussing controversial political and religious topics and intimate/personal matters) across levels.

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
