Pros

Own multiple projects and learn systematic approach to food development. Talented people with willingness to learn and grow. Excellent opportunities to meet and work with people from every top food company in the world. Access to other Kerry scientists throughout the world.

Cons

Incredibly negative feedback approach, and casually state "oh, we manage by sharp elbows" and "I just don't give positive feedback, so assume no news is good news. You'll know when I'm unhappy." Consistently over-promise capabilities to customers, then expect scientists to resolve. When experienced managers and scientists leave, they are replaced with new grads - leading to new scientists handling projects and being sent to plants without enough training or understanding of product lines.

Pros

There really isn't much idle time. Plenty of work orders and PM's to do each shift.

Cons

No advancement, None. The company has been through several hiring freezes, and most departments are short handed. It has been a revolving door. Instead of filling the positions they have just doubled the workload on the employees.
