Pros

i worked at cargill several years. when times were good, they were all happy and supportive. when the market hit them hard, everyone was just out to cover themselves best they could owns alot of stuff around the world

Cons

i think the future for privately held companies like cargill is not looking good i don't see them growing much, just the basic good old commodity type stuff

Pros

Good pay scale, good working conditions.

Cons

Long term employees who don't do their jobs need to go, this is a real problem for Cargill. Keeps long term employees when they could hire one person to do two jobs in place of them. HR does not have control over long term employees.

Easy to get lost

Pros

Has a ton of resources, does not overreact to small upsets as is fitting for a private company. Has a ton of smart people and comfy offices, and great information resources. Will generally provide you with space to breathe. Has a big name, plush insurance benefits and a unique stock sharing plan. You'll probably get some interesting assignments along the way.

Cons

You will be a small and expendable fish in a big pond. Large and inflexible corporate infrastructure with many inscrutable management practices. Tends to focus on the patina of engagement rather than developing truly engaging leaders with truly engaging missions and applying its employees to interesting problems and developing resilience. Has a strong "run by corporate HR" flavor you might not expect from a private firm.
