Pros

Top notch talent. Best in class in multiple areas with general respect for all functions. Strong sense of community and collaboration to meet business goals. Balanced thinking with respect for all functions

Cons

Usual politics, but quite acceptable. Employees are not quickly convicted, but in fact can be quite opposite and takes time to get rid of bad apples at the top.

Pros

High caliber people working in an industry that impacts people's lives. Great benefits and good pay. Minneapolis staff are some of the best people I have ever worked with.

Cons

Boys club, Ridiculous amounts of red tape to get the job done. Too heavy on managers and not enough people to get the job done. In this industry your job IS your life, leading to stress and burnout.
