Good Pay, Diverse, Minnesota Nice

Advancement not really supported by management If you are not a favorite it is hard getting the right opportunities to develop and grow management has their own agenda, too worried about their next move rather than helping you get to yours DOES NOT PAY FOR SCHOOL IN SOME DEPARTMENTS, be sure to ask how many people that department has agreed reimburse school in the past 3 years. My department it was 0! CEO is offensive

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
