ADM reviews

Terrible review process, most management is unqualified, expectations unrealistic, 70 -80 hour workweeks. I worked under a manager for 20 years that rarely worked a full week and treated employees terribly, yet he kept his job, you could never talk to him without condescending arrogant replies. When he retired, he was replaced by a person who only knew anything about federal and international tax, and was a horrible manager; you could never trust what he said as he would reverse it a week later; put extreme stress and pressure on the dept. Company wide, morale is very poor. I finally had enough and retired early because of heart problems which I place the blame for directly on ADM, in short, I was being worked to death. There is also a lot of corruption.

Although the organization is a Fortune 28 company, they have a number of internal struggles. Including promoting leaders who do not possess leadership skills. Often, promotions are based on who is wearing your T-shirt, who you know and who is in the private meeting to speak on your behalf. The company is good at what they do but suffer from being a bit arrogant in their relationships. There is a lack of commitment to diversity and inclusion. Leaders are not committed to true development of the general population of employees. They prefer to hand pick those whom they believe deserve to be developed. Others are left in the cold wondering why they were left off the list.
