Pros

Huge and if young and willing to drink the KoolAid one can gain great experience. Huge company with a lot of things happening.

Cons

If one is part of an acquired organization they must assume that there is a bulls-eye on their back. We were told all kinds of glowing things about long term commitment and loyalty, but as soon as the acquisition is final the outside minions come in and the cutting begins. The more senior the more vulnerable.

Pros

Great benefits, time off, people were nice.

Cons

Very busy workplace - worked a lot of overtime. (Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate). Not a lot of procedures in place, so felt like a startup.
