Acquisition gone wrong

Pros

Major global company, good benefits, good work life balance.

Cons

Very bureaucratic and European (title matters more than content), slow, poor research and understanding of US agricultural market and how consumers feel about the Monsanto brand. There will likely be a break up of the company in the near future causing further chaos and slowdown- it may be necessary though. I think at the moment most folks in the company are just sitting on their hands and waiting for the next 2-3 years. Many patents expiring in the next 2-3 years but even programs meant to stimulate innovation are not being given the resources needed - the cost of litigating is higher priority right now.
