Pros

The benefits at 3M are top-notch. Salary, medical, and the 401k match are very competitive. 3M also offers a lot of development opportunities such as trainings, travel opportunities, and forums. Management is very flexible (usually) when it comes to working from home or alternative work schedules. You can really make your career your own and have many avenues and career paths to explore.

Cons

Although most benefits are great, 3M is behind other companies in PTO. You have to work at 3M for 4 years to receive 3 weeks of vacations, before that you have 2 weeks and a handful of personal days. It seems like this is an inflexible, non-negotiable policy. 3M is still struggling with a stuffy, conservative culture as well. This culture is perpetuated by top level management.

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
