Pros

Company has a great mission, generally good leadership, and is making a lot of necessary changes to be more competitive

Cons

Disciple and rigor around talent is decades behind peer companies. Talent reviews are entirely based on heuristics. Leadership development training is very weak compared to other companies.

Pros

The company mission to feed the world.

Cons

Completely lacking strategy in finance job family. Continue to tout their desire to bring the outside in, while putting zero value on their existing employees who know the business and processes. Losing top talent every day.

Pros

Culture is positive, open, and 8 years in, I've learned in any situation that I can assume positive intent and expect cooperation. Very little territoriality and every manager I've had has been interested in the well being of reports. Would recommend to LGBTQ+, post-military, people with disabilities, and other diverse candidates as a supportive employer. Benefits are good, including 401(k) match and small pension contributions.

Cons

"Cons" feel individual. When functions are outsourced to a third party or a different global region, people in one situation are displaced and opportunities become available elsewhere. This kind of sweeping change has increased at the company in recent years and can be expected to continue. The company has a history of long-service employees (20-25 years) but under the circumstances I'd expect the reputation of Cargill as a longitudinal employer is fading. Also, compensation is capped at the 75th percentile of your market value according to HR/Talent assessment because the company has a total compensation philosophy (benefits etc. comprise the delta).
