Pros

Get to work with interesting technologies. At times, can be a collaborative work environment. Working in a large multinational conglomerate.

Cons

Working in a large multinational conglomerate. Career paths are, at times, unclear and not well communicated. Pay is not transparent. High likelihood of being pigeon-holed into a job and stuck in that spot. Lots of corporate speak without the substance to back it. Upper leadership talks about grandiose plans that sound good however they have no idea how to execute. Communication from upper leadership is often obtuse and confusing. It sounds good but not much actual substance.

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
