Pros

Total compensation was mostly satisfactory, and you will be surrounded by intelligent coworkers. The Hopkins campus is a modern new building and comfortable work environment.

Cons

Cargill does not align employee skills, strengths, and desires to roles. If they want you to go do something else now, you must do so, even if it does not align with your career goals. Often times, senior level managers find themselves unexpectedly in high level individual contributors roles. Also, it is hard for new employees to build a network, and Cargill is definitely an "It's who you know" company...

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!
