Pros

Big Global company. Opportunities to move around, especially for Americans. Great benefits.

Cons

Low salaries for senior levels. Highly politicised place, you have to watch your back. Performance is irrelevant, your internal network and years with the company and, most importantly, your desk is what matters. Incompetence in the top levels.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to move up if you are competent, good industry to be in right now, private company focuses on long term value, lots of opportunities to move to different plants and business units. Biggest plus is the people- Cargill definitely hires more social people and engineers than many other places I've worked

Cons

Pay is ok, but not great, might get stuck in the same position for a while if you are willing to relocate, some budget cuts right now also
