Pros

Potential to keep learning. Multidisciplinary.

Cons

Joined the company excited to indulge in curiosity and now completely mistrustful of the prevailing organizational culture. Plenty of egomaniacs lowering the bar for everyone else. Behind the facade of "Minnesota nice" is a world of self-centeredness being expressed via passive aggression. I don't know when it got this way, but smart people out there.. don't let your capabilities wither away. Thrive elsewhere.

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
