Pros

The location is great especially if you are an eastside Twin Cities or Wisconsin resident. The people are top notch. The benefits are pretty good, but things are starting to be taken away. There are worldwide opportunities available, but harder to come by these days.

Cons

Some times management lives in silos. Doesn't give opportunities to people willing to take them. Management plays it safe and doesn't take too many risks. They are worried too much of what the "street" has to say. The work can be mundane. Communication is something that needs to be worked on. To move around, you've got to know some one.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
