Pros

Good benefits and training. With retirement of several employees coming up there should be opportunities for newcomers in the coming years

Cons

European centric. More two companies within one as chemicals and seeds are not yet fully integrated even though strategy was rolled out 4.5 years ago

Pros

Laid back culture, not very ambitious in goals or target setting. Have excuses about weather, government regulations etc. to justify shortfalls in goals.

Cons

Resistance in trying new ways of doing things. No strategic focus and very non-employee focused. Management focused primarily on cost and not on growth.

Pros

A few fantastic managers and intelligent people who make the environment tolerable.

Cons

Definitely who you know that counts here. There are still people here with little or no education who have been here forever and are power hungry; they are ill equipped to handle change or manage anything, let alone other people who are educated and intelligent.
