Pros

Benefits. Ingredion will give you opportunities to move departments if you network well enough and are proactive about it. They give opportunities to younger people to manage. Ingredion is a great technically driven company with a good reputation for its technical people. A great place to start your career at and then leave after 4 years for better opportunities.

Cons

They don’t train their managers. Young middle managers stifle progress, training and career of employees. I felt insignificant, undervalued and underpaid. They promote technical people to move to sales without giving them the right training and mentoring to succeed. They care more about company policies than actual employees well-being. Huge HR turnover.

Pros

Not many. The good doesn’t out weigh the bad.

Cons

The culture is horrible. Everything is backwards. The good people are punished and the bad get rewarded. They let contractors go for no good reason. Training in most departments is awful. For those that do their job are expected to carry those that don’t do their jobs. Tulsa Service Center is a joke.
