Good Pay, Diverse, Minnesota Nice

Advancement not really supported by management If you are not a favorite it is hard getting the right opportunities to develop and grow management has their own agenda, too worried about their next move rather than helping you get to yours DOES NOT PAY FOR SCHOOL IN SOME DEPARTMENTS, be sure to ask how many people that department has agreed reimburse school in the past 3 years. My department it was 0! CEO is offensive

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.
