Pros

Great people, fair pay and benefits. Opportunity for incoming applicants to rebuild.

Cons

Always lagging behind in IT methodology. i.e. Agile has only been formally allowed by the PMO in the last year or so. As one of those recently "impacted" by reorg, I will be leaving Cargill soon after 20 years of service. I'm one of many senior professions being displaced in favor of outsourcing and offshore service centers. The loss of knowledge is extensive. Impact to our internal customers will be high. Employee morale is very low. The next few years in IT are going to be very rocky.

Pros

Insight into what the business environment was like in the 80s- early 90s

Cons

That aunt you can't stand, that stepford neighbor who is eerie on second glance, that co-worker who seems to get by doing nothing, that kid in elementary school who used to cut the line, the worst manager you've ever had, Trump supporters, the type of person who loves hearing themselves talk, that person who has too many complexes to count, that one person with simplistic labels for everyone, that person who things smoking should not be banned inside the workplace, people who don't hold the door for others 1ft behind them, that person on speakerphone in a crowded room, histrionics, narcissists, that person who can't admit to being wrong, the type of person who will encourage bashing your other co-workers via public distribution lists, the type of person who believes there are winners and losers to every situation..... This represents 70% of the people working at Cargill. The other 30% are wondering how they got here and are planning their exits.

Pros

Lives the values of diversity and inclusion. Work life balance has improved a lot over the last 10 years. Strong, stable, diversified company. Good benefits. Sr Management has improved over the last ten years.

Cons

Moved admin (accounting, finance, HR, etc.) positions out of the US to India and Costa Rica. Slow to embrace new technologies but this is changing.
