Pros

Worked at one of the divisions outside of Minneapolis for 3 years. Good work/life balance. Salary OK.

Cons

All decisions come from MN. Management doesn't recognize accomplishments. Middle management awarded positions based on favoritism, not merit.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
