Pros

1. Company in general seems nice and has a rich culture and descent global recognition. 2. Headquarter Mounds View cafeteria food quality is good.

Cons

1. Disorganized at non-core business units, i.e. Global IT Services. I would not trust to purchase our own product if our product business line was operating the same ways as the Global IT service management team operated. 2. Very bureaucratic, the incentives of the entire IT service data-driven initiative was "get-the-number" out to the highest level manager instead of quality, accuracy and improvement. The lower level analysts eventually bear the consequences of the poor-quality outcomes direct managers strongly demanded. 3. No training, it's "throw you under the bus" style starting at day 1. 4. At some peripheral departments, such as IT Global Service, it's almost 0 quality result driven and more like 90 percent management-authoritarian driven and people are working to comply what higher managers demand every day for promotion, instead of functioning around the actual customer-satisfactory outcome.

Pros

Great benefits, flexible time, nice cafeteria.

Cons

Lack of ethics and conduct, management esp. Supervisors need training and developing classes, not just for completion and to receive certificates. They should be held accountable and tested quarterly on their performance on how they are handling their team based on survey. Management thrive in receiving awards based on their accomplishments and recognition when in reality nothing was really done to show as successful. Lack of communication addressed to the team, not everyone is informed and many pockets are created on certain people only know while the rest are kept in the dark. Beware of "corporate brain washing here", you are more credible than you think, they will under size you. I was told before that I was not good enough for project management or as an analyst; was passed continuously on promotions due to favoritism and a cut-throat environment. Found it morally wrong how people were being treated. I have left the company and now working at a successful corporation working in a project management environment assigned to tasks and deliverables for all types of work for process improvement. I have proved them wrong.

Pros

Good benefits, emphatic CEO, Stable company to retire and work-life balance.

Cons

Senior Managers, no promotions, Managers looks for rocket scientists...No internal opportunity for growth. Leadership emphasizes a lot about the tenets that include recognizing the personal worth of employees but the middle layer managers do not care to grow their subordinates. Personally, I see few colleagues are not as collaborative.
