Pros

Flexible workplace arrangement-enjoy working from home whenever my schedule allows; CEO-Supports Inclusion & Diversity; The people and culture; Family owned global business

Cons

They tell you to be innovative, but innovative to leadership's timeline; Middle Management plays to the internal political landscape and status quo; Cargill needs more middle management ( i.e. Advisor/Manager I to Sr Advisor/Manager II population) risk takers.

Pros

Cargill is a good company to work with and they really have a genuine desire to help their employees. They have an EXCELLENT flexible work arrangement.

Cons

As a programmer it wasn't the most Ideal situation. There was so many network and protocol restrictions and most web sites were blocked from viewing it was like pulling teeth to get anything done. I felt like they didn't trust their employees. Also, they were switching QA to be completely outsourced. I think that is a big risk since you could loose the domain knowledge. They didn't put enough emphasis on QA it was more of an afterthought.
