Pros

3M has wonderful corporate values and they are doing things to support them. Our campus will be totally sustainable by 2020. Ethics in business are very good. If you get to management level you may have access to Long Term Incentives which do not vest immediately.

Cons

Like many corporation, some previous practices are resulting in court cases. Some divisions or management may expect you to be available at all times, vacation, night, weekend. They won't tell you that but the culture will. Politics are of the passive aggressive sort. If you are in the field, it can be nice not to be in HQ but you need to routinely go to St. Paul to be considered and included.

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
