Do not work here

Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

Took away hybrid schedule with barely any notice. Terrible morale. Health benefits are progressively worse every year. Adm micromanages it's employees. Management is full of yes men. If you want to hate your job and cry on the way to work 5 days a week, apply.

Corporate finance could be great but isn’t

Pros

Some people really are great at their jobs and managing others. Hopefully you will work for one of them. Hopefully you will work in one of the business units that really values its people and not corporate. There are definitely those who try to make ADM a great place to have a meaningful career for people just starting at entry level positions as well as those who join ADM already with some experience.

Cons

Unfortunately, there are managers who are knowledge experts but haven’t a clue how to properly manage teams. These people should not under any circumstance have direct reports. Upper management values stability more than actually putting a great leader in place. Management is not rewarded for developing a great team so development is not a focus. “Perception is the only thing that matters.” Direct quote from a very senior person. It doesn’t matter if in reality you are destroying value or hurting the team if simply the perception is the opposite. The route to success here is to convince the person above you that you know what you’re talking about. It doesn’t matter whether that’s actually true or not. An MBA from a top school can buy instant credibility and opportunities not afforded to those without regardless of performance.

Finance/Accounting Review

Pros

Decent compensation. Some departments have a laid back atmosphere. Decent vacation time. For the most part, people don't care about their job, so the best asset is to have sharp communication skills.

Cons

Finance/accounting is completely separate from the commercial side at ADM, and is therefore viewed simply as a cost, and not a strategic partner. In addition, the vast majority of these positions are in Decatur, Il- if you know ANYTHING about Decatur, then that should say enough. Hence, there is minimal in career development, and a 'just here for the paycheck' mentality. If you are career-oriented and motivated, finance/accounting in ADM is not for you. If your lifestyle is more of a soccer-mom, and you don't really care that much, then it might be perfect.
