Pros

Very low people turnover - a lot really stick around a long time. Great company culture coming from actually making a tangible difference to the world's most pressing issues on food, energy, climate and infrastructure. Open and clear top-level communication and low power distance. Taking a front runner position in digitalization and actively influencing stakeholders to create a better, greener and more sustainable world. It's a great company when adding all things up.

Cons

Slow decision making due to many complex layers of management across regions, segments and functions, and decisions being made in a myriad of forums and boards. Missing synergies that could be had if all fought the same battle. Heads of functions fight to keep their own kingdoms, so speaking up can often be career-limiting.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent PTO and benefits, friendly coworkers

Cons

Slow moving in central IT function, many decisions are made by committee, which slows the process way down. Compensation is below average. I have received promotions every 1-2 years for the last 5 years, but advancement in compensation has been very poor. At best it took 10 months to receive a 10% raise commensurate with my promotion. On the worse end, I received almost no salary increase despite my manager, their manager and their manager (our department head) approving the proposed raise.
