Pros

Because it is a Fortune 50 company planted (pun intended) in the middle of the prairie, ADM has to pay special attention to employee satisfaction in order to attract and retain top talent. If you don't mind living a bit removed from a major metropolitan center, ADM will pay you a very competitive salary in a relatively low cost-of-living area. The corporate culture prizes honesty, transparency and hard work.

Cons

Women are still scarce in senior management but many do hold good positions in upper-middle management and the Chairman/CEO is a woman. ADM is about 10 years behind the curve in IT platforms and systems. ADM could also do a much better job with its bonus program.

Pros

Challenging work, lots of variety, decent benefits, average compensation, good stability. Very good peer support.

Cons

Upper management very progressive, middle and lower management covertly clinging to old, secretive, anachrinistic, "my or the highway" mentality. No carrer path, job definition; cowboy attitude toward vague corporate policy. Little to no professional developement other than OJT. Compensation well below professional median. Good ol' boy system still covertly in place. Highly political environment. Lack of management support ... "we'll let you know if you did it wrong" mentality.
