Pros

-Really enjoyed the Research environment & people [not so much Corporate or GTECH] -I think the job freeze has subsided, so a lot of opportunities to transfer within the company & around the U.S/world are probably possible again -I'm guessing its a stable company again now that the massive hacks have been done

Cons

-A lot of red tape in my department before people could be helped; often told people they had to go to person "X" and then be transferred to me before I could help them. --made me feel incredibly uncomfortable since I knew I could help, I just got tired of having my wrist slapped. -Pretty much any criticism you'd have about a big corporation. I doubt ADM is any worse than most Fortune 500 companies

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
