Pros

Amazing work-life balance; WFH/remote option; generally extremely intelligent co-workers; excellent workplace atmosphere; wonderful health benefits; great vacation; reduced stock purchase plan is fantastic; 401k is 5%-income match.

Cons

Very very poor middle management; performance reviews are a joke (sadly) and there is a forced distribution such that everyone essentially gets a 3 (on a scale from 1 to 5); nearly impossible to get rid of people who are worthless (they end up quitting or stay forever).

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
