      Pros

      After reorg, none..... In the chase for shareholder value, company forsake strategy, innovation, localisation, empowerment, transform company into top-down business-led culture for technology company.

      Cons

      Plenty. R&D measured using Salesforce=No more smart goals setting. Just rely on your sales partner for your performance rating=performance rating not based on own performance, but dependent on others. Regionalised reporting structure means limited career opportunities. Subsidiaries with smaller sales volume may never get promoted.

      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
