Genuinely interested in why ya'll hated working there? I dislike their business practices of late but I have several software engineer friends that work there and the free gadgets, perks, benefits, and pay appear to be top notch.

Jeremy Swigart , in my case it was being female.  Some of the real aholes were H1-Bs, but a lot were garden-variety Americans who should know better than to grab a co-worker's ass.

I'm usually pretty easy-going about that shit but being the only female on a team, it was either start slapping people or call HR.

There were various factors for me, including the 45 minute commute each direction (while commuting with a coworker in the HOV lanes), the fact that I was hired as an "SDET" but was tasked with manual testing & software deployments (not where I wanted my career to be/go), the pay was just OK and the working conditions weren't that awesome. The fact that I'm a Linux & F/LOSS advocate really made me feel like I was working for the enemy.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
