      Pros

      Great people, great technology and average pay.

      Cons

      There is too much red tape. By the time you get a project ready for approval, it has had dozens of reviews, hundreds of approvals were needed, thousands of hours in presenatation prep time only to find out, that the project needs to stop due to heavy job losses. So much money has been wasted in the past 4 years on projects that end up stopping due to restrucutring. I hope we can figure this out going forward. Employees are tired and overworked and in constant fear of being in the next round of reductions. Stay away from 3M right now until they can figure out how to get back on track.

      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
