Pros

DT&T drives Cargill’s digital transformation, meaning your work directly influences global food supply chains, sustainability efforts, and operational efficiency. Opportunity to contribute to projects that improve food security and sustainability worldwide. Cargill operates in over 70 countries, so DT&T roles often involve global collaboration. Work on solutions that impact millions of customers and partners across diverse markets. Strong focus on professional development through training, certifications, and mentorship. Opportunities to move across different technology domains or into leadership roles. Inclusive and diverse teams that value innovation and continuous improvement. Emphasis on teamwork and knowledge sharing across functions and geographies. Cargill is a privately held, financially stable company with a long history. Mission-driven work aligned with feeding the world and promoting sustainability. Many DT&T roles offer hybrid or remote work options. Supportive environment for balancing personal and professional priorities.

Cons

Cargill is a large, established company with decades of systems and processes. Integrating modern digital solutions with legacy infrastructure can be challenging and slow. Digital transformation in a global enterprise often moves at a measured pace due to risk management, financial dependencies and compliance. Large corporate structure means multiple layers of approvals and governance. Decision-making can be slower compared to startups or smaller tech firms. Some business units may be hesitant to adopt new technologies or processes. Change management can be a significant part of the role. Unlike tech companies, Cargill’s digital work is mostly internal-facing. May not provide the same level of external recognition or brand visibility for tech professionals.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
