Pros

Big name in the industry.

Cons

Organisation structure is a mess. You will never get the information and decision that you're looking for. Extremely internal focus until the extend of compromising customer's interests. Work life will never balance in Ingredion! Prepare to work 24/7.

Toxic workplace

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Join if you enjoy working in an old school environment

Cons

HR do not represent employees and just messengers of the management. Toxic culture of having big dreams and little action, company's core values are just for show. Not a place for one to build on your career. Upper management position changes every 1-2 years resulting in a clash resulting in lots of office politics and unclear direction.

Pros

Some fantastic people who are kind and helpful and very knowledgeable. Good package and benefits Interesting industry Social activities were great When things are going well you feel amazing and are rewarded

Cons

Care First is a hollow value - people are not consulted and constantly undermined. Experts in their field are not listened to so work becomes increasingly frustrating and demoralising. Honesty is not appreciated nor is any form of contradiction- you’re labelled a trouble maker when you truly have the best interests of the business at heart Work load is high which would be fine if you had some autonomy
