Pros

The plant here is filled with experienced individuals who are happy to share their wealth of knowledge. Everyone also seems to understand the importance of a good work-life balance.

Cons

The large company structure and trying following all of the standards which exist can be intimidating. It also seems that technical roles are rewarded at a slower pace when compared with the business roles in the company.

Pros

The company offers new starters a good training program, organizes plenty of extra-curricular activities, and generally treats its employees well. There are multiple levels of advancement possible, with some possibility of cross transfer to other functional areas if there are specific matching skill sets.

Cons

Rather bureaucratic, large scale organization. While claiming to support work/life balance, increased globalization and a high pace of change put a lot of pressure on a lot of people, particularly mid level managers, to work long hours.

Pros

International corporation with excellent benefits. Potential international travel if you have high enough position.

Cons

Total lack of executive diversity. Three reorgs in three years resulted in 14 executive positions staffed with 11 white, male Germans plus one white, male Canadian. Of the other two, one was white, female German. And this was at the new North American HQ for the Ag Biotech division. If you have dreams of advancing, don't spend them here.
