Pros

Great benefits and compensation. Great options to buy 3M stocks. Overall the company is good and if you get an opportunity to work at MN headquarters or bigger branch, it will be a great opportunity to work, learn and grow.

Cons

3M Northridge facility is smaller than their other locations with limited growth and very limited learning opportunity. Terrible management. Employees perform redundant jobs everyday with no motivation or encouragement.

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
