3M provides reasonable pay and benefits when compared with peers.

Cons

No career growth at all for IT professionals. It isn't a career, it is a job. No flexibility or work-life balance. You are an expendable resource. Poor management (company-wide)

Pros

Strong procurement processes, exposure to global suppliers, and a collaborative work culture. The company offers good learning opportunities, structured workflows, and access to modern tools and systems. Team members are generally supportive, and the experience helps build solid analytical and professional skills.

Cons

Some processes can be slow due to corporate structure and multiple approval layers. Workload may increase during peak periods, and decision-making can feel centralized. Career growth may require patience, especially in highly standardized roles.
