Pros

Good training Challenging from the start with steep learning curve Large enough company to move around within Privately owned, a bit more stable during tough times Long term view Can be flexible on working hours Approachable management

Cons

Pay is OK but behind the curve Depending on sitn, recognition for your efforts and reward is not there, talk but no action Tend to stack too many things on your desk before providing help Can be slow to react to market changes Odd policies can make it through the door, rules made and broken minutes later

Pros

great growth opportunities It is very challenging which promotes a steeper learning curve. You will be promoted and/or moved around within the company if you'd like. You will be given a lot responsibilities from the beginning, again great growth. Privately owned company, so very stable during rough economy times.

Cons

Cargill does not pay their engineers! You will not be compensated nearly what the industry pays. They love to 'recognize" you but do not pay for your value. Even though it is private, it still has the big corporate BS games. This location has no diversity, this is primary due to location but when diversity is present they leave quickly. They advertise work-life balance but if you want to be on a good level and seen as a good employee you need to spend 10 hours a day. It gets political.
