IT skills are so hot that many new computer science graduates receive multiple job offers. The training was almost twice what other companies were offering. Diverse work assignments, employment policies that recognize the need for personal and professional life balance and competitive salaries also are among the attributes that earned the St. Paul-based financial services company a ranking of 26 on the list of the nation's top IT employers. We offer our associates balance between their professional and personal lives as well as numerous opportunities for professional development. Delaney Nelson says less than half of the people who leave her department leave for IS jobs at other companies.
Personal life changes such as family relocations also result in some resignations.
Kate Mayer, a 1999 computer science and math graduate of the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota, liked the emphasis on work-life balance at Minnesota Life. She also liked the atmosphere. She interned at another large Twin Cities company in 1998. She decided in the fall of her senior year to work at Minnesota Life after graduation. Here at Minnesota Life, they do their best to match you with the projects you prefer.
