Pros
benefits work environment paid leave
Cons
bureaucracy and a lot of red tape
- 3.0Sep 1, 2023Business Intelligence ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 10 yearsSaint Louis, MO
Pros
Hybrid work environment, great "next level" managers. My ideas are heard, and we are given flexibility to try things outside of the box. I'm not micro-managed in any way, shape or form. With that said, you still have to deliver. I'm also glad that the constant organizational 're-orgs' have slowed down. Those used to be one every year or two. The focus on culture.
Cons
Crop Science isn't necessarily a stable work environment. I've been through at least 4 (Monsanto, Searle, Pfizer, Monsanto (Pfizer divested Monsanto), Bayer) corporate takeovers. The IT department is a huge money drain. I guess it's that way for everyone. The focus on culture.
