Pros

The physical building is pretty nice with some perks like an on site cafeteria, coffee shop, parking ramp and small health club. Salary is competitive. Personal experience with immediate next-level management was positive.

Cons

Company culture is dull and stifling with conservative leadership. For a company of its size, the St. Paul HQ site has an acknowledged and profound lack of diversity. Many employees have been there a long time which has contributed to a complacent and sleepy culture.

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.
