Pros

Global exposure, flexible work environment, fair pay, opportunities are available if you are aggressive in stating you desired career path and work the network.

Cons

Politics, status quo management approach, lack of leadership. Good managers are limited to those who just are vs the company developing good mangers. L

Pros

Somewhat flexible schedule. Collaborative environment. Each team does its best to produce good yields on each project. Worldwide, the company has a neutral to ok reputation.

Cons

Local reputation is still somewhat low (due to public perception of genetic engineering crops and pesticide use) for Syngenta which can impact personal life.

Pros

Awesome people to work with, good benefits.

Cons

No long-term strategy, initiatives change constantly, as do safety initiatives, software tools, expectations and company organization. People don't seem to matter much to upper management, there are frequent layoffs as changes occur and there is no strategic direction (or if there is, it's not communicated well to anyone outside the board room). The constant change creates a lot of extra work and cornfusion. Oops, I meant confusion. Salaried employees should expect to work 60+ hours per week in Hawaii, maybe elsewhere as well.
