Bunge Limited Reviews

Pros

Flexible Company
Empowerment
Engagement
Respect for employees' opinion
and Great values as a Corporation

Cons

If you are not interested in work hard and if you are not a person that likes changes, probably Bunge is not a good place for you... but in my case It is the perfect one...

Pros

- Competitive compensation although favoritism is rampant leading to wide variations in comp
- International opportunities are substantial, and it is a diverse group of people

Cons

- Little collaboration among employees as if everyone is insecure about losing their jobs tomorrow
- The corporate group at HQ is a toothless, powerless group, without much in support from Senior Management - the argument given is that the corporate staff has to practice influence without authority. What a sham - when business unit folks openly ignore phone calls and emails from the HQ with, its not a great position to be at HQ
- What used to be a fun and entrepreneurial place to work has now become bureaucratic and overly political
