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

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
