      Political corporate busy work at its finest

      Pros

      Benefits are good. Advancement opportunities are good if you are willing to re-locate.

      Cons

      Very political. If you are not part of the inner circle, your life will be miserable. Senior management moves around, so in a lot of cases they are not experts in the field they are guiding. Constant change without good communication. Very corporate with a great deal of reporting requirements, which causes micro managing. No life balance.

      Worked to Death and Under-Appreciated

      Pros

      For those in a particular discipline, you get the option of working from home quite a bit, which is nice. The campus was located close to my home so commute was easy. Learned a lot about plants and genetics.

      Cons

      You will literally work yourself to death, yet management rarely acknowledges this fact or thnks you for your hard work. There is little communication from senior management to the "worker bees", and where there is, it is convoluted and unclear. Since they are a global company, you're expected to be at anyone's beck and call 24/7. Management constantly changes their mind about things but never communicates those changes to those responsible for making those said changes until it's too late.
