People are respected and treated well Good learning and development practices Good fringe benefits (vacation, flexible working arrangements) Fairly shallow management structure, and Director-VP level people are accessible

Cons

"Minnesota-nice" culture sometimes limits the candor of feedback Technical functions do not have a lot of input on business teams Lots of turnover on business teams, especially in Marketing Overly focused on diversity for the sake of diversity

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.
