Pros

Most colleagues are great, passionate about science and innovation.

Cons

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” What began as a well-meaning Dynamic Shared Ownership model has, in practice, slowed progress and deepened bureaucracy. With team-lead and mid-level manager roles removed, many strong scientists and leaders have become frustrated and left. Meanwhile, younger talent is departing as advancement opportunities grow scarce.

Pros

Excellent compensation packages with good 401k match, health benefits, bonus percentage and vacation. Excellent colleagues and talented teams.

Cons

Acquisition of Monsanto and its legal battles have hurt the company finances and sunk the stock value significantly. Due to struggling cash flows, they have been laying off talented & senior employees every year and the teams are losing talent and experienced leadership.
