Pros

My peers are great and they reimburse me for my commute.

Cons

Nothing works. Company is unable to pay vendors and growers on time on a regular basis. Switches from exotic play to exotic play and can’t even block and tackle correctly. Horrible culture. Can’t speak up or express different view without fear of retribution from management. People are “appointed” to roles within without even interviewing, regardless of background or skill level. The products don’t work, we don’t make anything better or more efficient for farmers, growers, buyers, anyone. The company is run by a bunch of arrogant ivy league grads that don’t understand why the ag industry doesn’t want to immediately adopt their crummy products. They basically assume all farmers and buyers are ignorant and haven’t streamlined their processes after hundreds of years of refining. The company pillars are a joke, we don't always do the right thing and this company is HILARIOUSLY NOT transpararent. They need to bring in some consultants asap to turn this ship around. The morale is comicly low. They claim to care about the environment but trot around employees on planes left and right for meaningless trips just to be in the office somewhere. We need a seperate terraton program just to offset the ridiculous amount of unnecessary executive travel we have. All of the reviews you see that are good are either from HR or employees that have only been with the company for a short time (serously, check their tenure). I'm sure there will be some snippy generic HR response to this but the many bad reviews and plummeting glass door score (look from Nov 18 to Dec 19) show that I'm not some one off. Once the free lunches and standing desk newness wears off you realize how bad it is. If you’re considering it, ignore the free coffee machines and keep your job security where you are.

Pros

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Cons

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
