Pros

Really engaging work, incredible minds, 98% awesome people. A Senior Management Team, that individually, are some of the most incredible human beings I've met. A lot of "lateral" potential all over the world (maybe drying up), and many who leave, eventually come back.

Cons

Cargill's pursuit of an ERP implementation and the external partner chosen to manage the project, has left a wide swathe of carnage after just two waves. Most alarmingly is how the partner's culture infected Cargill's. If you believe that a corporate culture can be a real, measurable, "feelable" thing, then you can understand what I mean by "infected." Really, really smart people are running around like headless chickens, because of "deadlines and statuses." People are leaving angry in droves. And, they have a REALLY hard time getting pay to the 25% percentile.

Pros

Compartmentalization of the individual units in Cargill was nice from a financial perspective. Always neat and tidy work space and nice people to work with.

Cons

The Process of Cargill is a process of processes that have been transcribed and lost in the shuffle of shifting management. Understanding this process is a process in itself.
