Pros

- most people working there are smart and helpful - company values work/life balance and (at least in IT) schedules are very flexible: more about your results rather than the time you spend in the office - great benefits - diversity is valued - very nurturing culture

Cons

- sometimes slow-moving as is typical for a large company - minneapolis can be a challenge in the winter - your impact is sometimes lost in such a big company

Good work life balance, many people fully remote or hybrid

Cons

Layoffs are often and if you don’t move quickly you get caught up in them

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
