Pros

Friendly Minnesota HQ folks, family oriented culture.

Cons

HR is making performance review more robotic than ever. Everyone is forced to 'meet the numbers' regardless of performance in some cases. Rating system is considered demotivating. Sales force is ever decreasing in importance. More and more taken away to meet Wall St. expectations. Too bad, didn't used to be this way :(

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.
