Disappointed

Pros

Large company, large range of employee welfare benefits, almost guaranteed an annual pay rise and Christmas party

Cons

Inconvenient and unfit for purpose office in an industrial setting. Disconnection with management who never appreciate or realise the troubles experienced. Super over-complicated inter-company structure leading to hours and hours spent resolving internal reporting differences. Despite size, opportunities to move up are surprisingly rare (given the size of the company) and those moving up the ranks are often overlooked for the 'lifers' that have been in ADM forever.

Pros

Provides many opportunities for development of engineering talent. Good benefits and great name recognition in the industry.

Cons

Be prepared to work in remote locations far flung from major metro areas. Despite strong emphasis on workplace safety and environment, it is still a work in progress.

Pros

The only pros I can think of are the wonderfully supportive coworkers I was lucky enough to have on my shift and the opportunity to learn how to use and troubleshoot a wide variety of analytical instruments.

Cons

Swing shift is awful. Weekly rotation from 1st to 2nd to 3rd. You tell yourself "yeah, I can deal with it," but it consumes your life after awhile. The overtime pay is great, but because of constant call-offs and understaffing, you're slammed with overtime and held over often. Management could care less about the quality of your work - they only want results. I never once felt important working at ADM - I was a number-generating drone - and none of the science I learned in school was applied during my job.
