What They Do Design interactive Web-based applications for business clients.

How They Flex Telecommuting and compressed schedules are a way of life at this progressive IT firm, recently voted one of the Twin Cities’ “Best Places to Work.” New moms are eligible for FMLA benefits with six paid weeks off; once they’re back at work, they may visit the office Pump House, a comfortable nursing room. Both moms and dads can phase back to work after a child is born.

Something Cool Management often rewards employees for their hard work by doling out cash bonuses, gift certificates or dinners for two. Come summer, family members are invited to group “happy hours” that feature everything from barbecues to biking events.
