Pros
Cargill has great people and is very relationship oriented. If you're interested in international experience, Cargill encourages people to take overseas assignments. There is a long history of solid business ethics that leaders hold onto strongly.
Cons
As with most companies, there are pockets of very poor leadership in places. Cargill has become very focused on reducing costs, often in a non-productive and short sighted manner. Although it is a private company, Cargill has begun reacting to short term revenue slumps more like a public company - cutting costs severely as opposed to building for the future.
