Pros

Work life balance, some freedom in pursuing projects you are passionate about (but completely eroded away with the latest re-org); Latest re-org eroded all pros.

Cons

No more innovation in the company (as observed by some interns); Everything is revenue-focused to get the company's numbers good for Wall Street; All localised RnD effort for product regionalisation eliminated by latest round of re-org, downsizing of RnD for global subsidiaries, major revamp of reporting structure, with managers and surbodinates located in different geographies; all employee appraisal only by Salesforce stats, even for non-business roles; No more career development for subsidiary employees; Favouritism is obvious, especially in regards to nationality.

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
