Pros

For those in a particular discipline, you get the option of working from home quite a bit, which is nice. The campus was located close to my home so commute was easy. Learned a lot about plants and genetics.

Cons

You will literally work yourself to death, yet management rarely acknowledges this fact or thnks you for your hard work. There is little communication from senior management to the "worker bees", and where there is, it is convoluted and unclear. Since they are a global company, you're expected to be at anyone's beck and call 24/7. Management constantly changes their mind about things but never communicates those changes to those responsible for making those said changes until it's too late.

Pros

3 weeks vacation out of the gate

Cons

Pay for staff is not competative. Increases are all but non-existent. Inadequate staff levels force persons to work unreasoanable overtime.
