"Cargill has strong values and does follow them with an emphasis on putting people first. It is encouraging to see stated DEI strategy and aspirations and continued progress along the journey. There's still a way to go on this journey, but the commitment is there. Energized by the truly global footprint and opportunities I have to work with colleagues around the globe!"

"This is a values-driven company that is putting its money where its mouth is to close existing diversity gaps. I believe what I hear from senior leadership about the investments in inclusive facilities and accommodations being implemented in all of our locations and I am excited by development efforts provided to enhance and retain employees, and by the recent intentional diversification of our C-Suite. As with anything, your mileage will vary - and some leaders are further on their DEI journeys than others. "

"For working in agriculture, food, maritime, rail, transportation, or grain/oilseeds - Cargill is far and away the most equitable employer for women. I was one of the first women to work in operations for Cargill a long time ago and the company has come a long way since then and actively seeks to improve still. I grow more every year and have had many opportunities for advancement. I feel like what I do matters in the world. Working for a company so devoted to giving equitable chances to everyone and to improving our environment while feeding an exponentially growing world is very rewarding to me.
I will say we still have a way to go for improving work/life balance for both women and men, especially when it comes to moving around for promotions."

"I love Cargill. It's truly the first company where I feel my mental health is taken seriously. If I need a day off, or to go to an appointment it's okay. Vacation time? A breeze to book off. My manager is super supportive of me learning and not only listens to my goals or asks, but then finds me opportunities to learn about those topics. She encourages me to always be learning and that makes work fun. I also love working from home and on a variety of projects. I once heard someone say "if you have a talent or skill, Cargill will find out and find a way for you to use it"...they value their employees and our skills. You are more than a number at Cargill which is awesome for such a global company."

"Cargill takes tangible action to ensure women and men are treated equitably when it comes to pay. I feel supported in my development, treated respectfully, and supported from a work/life balance perspective. The thing I like most about the company is how they actually use their values in making decisions (people first, do the right thing, and reach higher) - it's not just words like many other organizations I have worked for."

"Employees are eligible for FMLA (12 weeks unpaid leave). Salary continuation continues to pay income for mothers who gave birth while you are out of the office recovering from birth (typically 8 weeks paid). Then you also get 6 weeks Paid Family Leave to care and bond with your new child. Paid Family Leave is available to both mothers and fathers. You can also use PTO to extend your time away.
Employees also have the option to request a personal leave of absence to extend their time away too."

"In the corporate research and development (R&D) product development labs:
Not a good place for women in science and engineering
Not a good place for women of color on science and engineering
Lack of racial and ethnic diversity (low retention rates)
Also other people(non poc - like white women) are quitting, lots of turnover
They staff lean meaning that a few people get a boatload of work
Little direction
But lots of blame when deadlines come around or when deliverables are due
One advantage of staffing lean is that they don't have to fire anyone if the company has an off year "

"he's just going through a checklist- asking questions given to him by HR and senior management -
i've explained the work i'm doing and how i'm approacing it and when i express that i'm confused because I'm getting different instructions from different scientists - he says "hey, every scientist does things differntly" and i felt that this was dismissive. he treats me like an afterthought and has shared that he is "very busy" and "you'll be fine" when i was doing my first project in a new field of science (microbiology) i was managing a couple of different experiments that I had repeated mutltiple times and it wasnt until 3 months into the project that he introduced me to a gantt chart and showed me how to use it to manage each experiment in the workflow- that was helpful and it should have happened earlier. i didnt know about it, otherwise i would have asked. also, he never made it clear who my project sponsor was - my first task was to write the research proposal (research charter) and i focused on understanding this new area of science, the methods i would use, the expected outcomes and how valuable that is for the business. but later i found out that i should have known who my sponsor was and i should have been meeting with them regularly to share my progress. that was judged as my fault.

"I worked in HR where there are typically a lot of females in any company and it was the same at Cargill but I was surprised that there weren't more at a higher level. I was in a role that had a lot of visibility across business lines and working with leaders at all levels. I found the top two levels executives extremely easy to work with and open to hearing a new perspective - very empowering. However, I was held back in my role and my ability to earn what I was worth because of my lack of negotiation skills when I started the role and a male lead department that was more focused on sticking to the budget than seeing the value I was bringing to the table."

"I have been working here for 8 years since graduation and have been in 3 different departments. The culture depends a lot what department you are in. Overall it is a company driven by men and even though the company leadership tries to change things (while there is no women on the leadership team) the middle management is predominantly an "old boy club". I came across a lot of men whose wives are stay-at-home-moms and they generally lack understanding for women who have kids. Depending on department "flexible" time is allowed, which means if you are sick or have a sick kid you are expected to work from home. Men are given more challenging projects and even if you ask for it you will be ignored or get an excuse. Overall, I have seen few women succeed and they are mostly without children or were hired externally, which means they progressed already outside of Cargill."

"I think overall women and men are treated equally. I think there is room for improvement with the maternity leave program. 6 weeks paid is not competitive compared to other companies. I also think that even though they offer flexible work arrangements there is a stigma around taking it."

"I've been with Cargill 5 years and I work from home. Work life balance is very important to Cargill and family always comes first. My flexible schedule allows me to have a career and a family and I am so grateful for that. No one ever questions me if I have to take my kids to a doctor's appointment or if they are home sick and in the background on a conference call. I am grateful to Cargill for the opportunities I have been given. I feel lucky every day."

"They do not value women accountants as much as a woman/man engineer. They believe in paying a medium wage despite how much value or work you provide. Don't be stupid and let them take advantage of you."

"I can't speak about any of the office jobs. In the 4 years I've been there I've only worked out on the production floor. I've seen gender discrimination in promotions, as well as racial discrimination. Short term, this is a good enough job because it pays well. Long term, you're asking for health problems that they will bend over backwards to get out of paying Comp for. I do like the supervisor I have now, he speaks and treats me with more respect than my former supervisor."

"Great place to work. Many opportunities. Great leadership. Many women leaders in the different Business Units (over 60 business units at Cargill), however, the top leadership of the company is primarily men. Work/life balance is great. My BU was very supportive of managing home life with work. I could take a little time off in the middle of the day to visit my son on his special day at school...as long as I was getting my work done, no issues."
