Pros

Awesome products Intelligent people Good discount EAP program for employees which helped "Me" deal with the hostile environment

Cons

Company does not accept new blood. Very hard to make friends. Employees think it is a WONDERFUL company, they have only been there so they don't know any different. It took me over 50 internal job applications to finally transfer out of one dept to go to another. No help from Human Resources, they support management not employees.

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
