Pros

Still a diversified industrial manufacturing company where you can pursuer career opportunities in a variety of markets

Cons

Management seems more focused on pursuing social causes instead of serving customers. Too many executive management appointments where the new executive is “Uniquely Qualified” for the role. This is code for “has no prior experience in the function or market”.

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
