Pros

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
