Pros

I had a great manager, and great team. Fun, exciting, and challenging work.

Cons

Little-to-no training opportunities. On-boarding consisted of PPTs and a quiz. There were 2 previous layoffs to mine before office space was consolidated between Minneapolis and Arden Hills. Former Arden Hills campus had 4 office buildings, by the time I was laid off there were only 2 occupied buildings left - the smallest two, with plenty of empty cubicles to go around.
