Pros

Excellent benefits, but with the merger with Monsanto, that seems to have suffered slightly. The organization is huge, is fairly diverse, and some great groups to work with. People very smart and motivated.

Cons

While some great groups in the organization, also some very toxic. Too many mid-level mamagers. Tendency to only hand good news up, while treating teams below as second class. Tend toward rewarding those who say the right corporate buzz words - presentation over substance.
