"I have worked for PFG since 2018, it is called as Iowa's best kept secret. Like the people of Iowa and midwest this company is extra nice to its customers and takes good care of them. I fully trust them with my own money, i.e. 401K, that is how much trust I place on them."

"I worked at Principal Financial Group for 3 months as a Data Science intern. Contrary to the position title, I was hardly given any data science work. I was made to continually perform the mind-numbing task of UI testing (user side). Imagine doing that everyday for 2 months."

"I worked in an office not located near the headquarters in Des Moines and there was no opportunity for growth and in the end the bad company decisions resulted in closing the claims center in the city I worked. While I was there the job was okay and had some support from the management and we in this office did a top notch job in delivering a high quality product."
