Pros

Excellent compensation packages with good 401k match, health benefits, bonus percentage and vacation. Excellent colleagues and talented teams.

Cons

Acquisition of Monsanto and its legal battles have hurt the company finances and sunk the stock value significantly. Due to struggling cash flows, they have been laying off talented & senior employees every year and the teams are losing talent and experienced leadership.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
