Pros

Great people, great goals and a great company. They have a good intern program at most locations which should give a lot of responsibility and project design work to interns. Typical projects are equipment and piping installs or replacements, addressing safety issues with physical installations (need a new platform, etc). You really do an engineer's work.

Cons

Since Cargill is so big, you end up with some communication issues with new information across the large sites and general changes in info across the business unit or Cargill as a whole. For managers a lot of emails come to them, I believe and they feel overloaded.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities in a variety of different businesses. Lots of training opportunities if you are at the corporate office. Good overall strategy. Have had the opportunity to have a couple great managers.

Cons

Relocation is required for many of the opportunities. Big disconnect between corporate and plant cultures. HR processes are unclear and poorly communicated resulting in a lack of transparency. Work life balance is a major issue at the plants. Lack of diversity. Pay is not so great.
