Can you tell me any names of companies to look at for applying or websites/resources/organizations where I might find names? I'm interested in checking the city and its opportunities out.
Also check out the Nerdery. They are hiring, based in Bloomington.
google "minnetonka minnesota companies" for more. All of the big ones are either in minnetonka, hopkins, eden prarie, or downtown minneapolis.
There are several business-y software companies like Concur, Lawson Software, Code 42, Dell (their cloud manager software is developed here).
(We're hiring software engineers at Concur, by the way.)
