High-performing company, built on great people

Pros

Strong focus on safety and quality. Truly global player with footprint just about everywhere in the world. Opportunities for advancement in most areas. People do the right thing and the company values are taken seriously. Lots of people with long service who truly believe in the company. Solid financial results in recent years.

Cons

Often feels focused on short-term... being publicly-traded on the NYSE means a lot of focus on quarterly results and sometimes excessive focus on external perception. Company not growing like it should, meaning a lot of focus on cost savings.

Pros

Career development is one thing I will forever appreciate ingredion for, though I really worked for it under the banner of corn products. The professional technical skills i acquired continue to help not only my current employer where i advice top leadership on quality assurance strategies but my country as well where I am consulted on this subject matter.

Cons

Inadequate monitoring and evaluation of performance for affiliates far flung from the headquarters is something I really did not like at then CPI for this could make a facility where leadership was not very strong to go down for good to the disadvantage of various stakeholders - staff and shareholders.
