Pros
good pay, some interesting projects, some great upper management that really cares about the employees, some great people that really make the company a great place to work, Monsanto was a great place to work pre merger
Cons
Unfortunately there are a lot of corporate politics that are unfair and quite immature. HR has some unqualified individuals that make it an undesirable workplace due to how poorly certain situations are handled and how they treat you and gossip about other employees. The merger also created issues that left some employees behind because managers were too focused on their own jobs and policies were not enforced as they were in the process of being reviewed. The lack of concrete policies created many issues and caused certain employees to not be held accountable for their actions. HR and managers need more accountability. While the flexible work hours and schedule were nice, some people take it too far which makes completing work difficult. The health insurance transition was also a nightmare for people who have health issues. Was told multiple times I did not have coverage when I did and spent hours each week on the phone trying to get my coverage figured out with CVS because they did not have proper employee information and it was never communicated to employees that this was an issue. Overall, post Merger Monsanto is not what it once was at all.
