      Healthy Company Culture. For the most part, a great place to work!

      Pros

      Everyone I've had the pleasure of working with is very nice and helpful. Just good people! The benefits are very good with unlimited vacation for salaried roles. Focus on continuous improvement, growth, and development. Mission-driven purpose to solve a critical problem in the world, feeding the world's growing population. Flexible work schedule. Autonomy to make decisions and take on projects to grow. A practical approach to DEI. Embracing technology to try to keep up with the times; mostly successful as an org. Mistakes are welcome; not expected to be perfect, as long as you learn from it.

      Cons

      The company structure is bizarre with Seeds and Crop Protection being separated. Sure, it's easier to track performance financially, but it's siloed, confusing, and complicated/challenging to make even simple changes companywide. I don't know who the decision-maker is or to provide feedback for many things. In my opinion, it is not efficient nor effective for resource sharing, leadership alignment/communication, and collaboration. There is evidence of some bad decisions and poorly implemented systems/programs that were not well thought out. Fixable, but causing issues/inefficiencies daily and I won't hold my breath.

      Pros

      Good benefits, good people, stellar past history of performance and fiscal responsibility

      Cons

      It was a great company, but it is now owned by the Chinese government. All profits go towards the communist party. The company is also now highly leveraged with a near junk bond status rating and several billion dollar lawsuits pending. Cash liquidity will be an issue in the next year or so.
