Pros

Big company, lots of variety. Excellent technical staff, excellent for exchange of ideas and expertise

Cons

Pay is low and package no longer makes up for it. Job situation is unstable in product development, projects arbitrarily cut. Management seems to have forgotten how to invest in new product development. Bureaucracy has become overwhelming.

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
