Pros

Really engaging work, incredible minds, 98% awesome people. A Senior Management Team, that individually, are some of the most incredible human beings I've met. A lot of "lateral" potential all over the world (maybe drying up), and many who leave, eventually come back.

Cons

Cargill's pursuit of an ERP implementation and the external partner chosen to manage the project, has left a wide swathe of carnage after just two waves. Most alarmingly is how the partner's culture infected Cargill's. If you believe that a corporate culture can be a real, measurable, "feelable" thing, then you can understand what I mean by "infected." Really, really smart people are running around like headless chickens, because of "deadlines and statuses." People are leaving angry in droves. And, they have a REALLY hard time getting pay to the 25% percentile.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
