In the Mpls office, working from home on a routine basis is generally frowned upon. Exceptions, however, seem to be made based on temporary circumstances.
In the MPLS office, big changes in the direction of a project are not uncommon. The leadership prizes innovation. This is well received by a lot of employees, but if you are someone that needs a lot of predictability or routine in your daily work, this is something you should ask about. Frequent changes also mean that sometimes communication isn’t always as timely or thorough as some people would like.
Turnover is consistently low. There have been a couple periods where a lot of people left in a short period, but over the 13 years I’ve been here, people seem to stay for a long time. Among those people who do leave, I would estimate: about a third are moving/retiring. A third found an opportunity somewhere else. And then a third are frustrated in some way. Among this frustrated group, probably about half are people that seem like they wouldn’t really be happy anywhere – but there is another half that seem to have a reasonable gripe. Overall, though, if you’re someone who is emotionally mature, you’ll probably find the environment to be friendly, fun, and fair.
