Pros

Very international. Does a lot of good for global food security. Financially stable, despite frequent comments to the contrary (still makes over USD 1 billion of profit per year).

Cons

General lack of vision. "There is no plan" is a sentiment often heard. A lot of people stay more or less for life, which means there are fewer career opportunities.

Pros

Good benefits (same as all big companies in Basel) Good salary (within the market ranges) Bright and diversified people Good location

Cons

- Lack of leadership. - Too many people involved in the decision making process. - Lack of end-to-end vision (working in silos) - Stiff environment, people are too serious... No joy. - Addiction to change, not enough time to settle from one change and already engaging in another (people get numb and in disbelief)
