Pros

3M is strong financially, has great products, and is a great place if you want to stay with one company your entire career. Good work life balance and potential for a diverse set of careers and travel opportunities for those who stand out.

Cons

For young professionals on the business side, this is not the place where you will pushed or developed to excel at the highest level at the beginning of your career or compensated as such. Not that 3M is a bad place to work for 95% of people, but I would not put them in the same class as Google, Bain, or Nike in terms of prestige or the responsibility they give young professionals.

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
