"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.

"Varies highly with individual manager, experience of supportiveness have ranged from excellent to terrible. If considering a role at Cargill, highly suggest you 'interview' your manager carefully--(s)he is likely to be a key determinant of your experience and access to potential sponsorship."

"I see some women in leafership roles but there are very few. There's flexibility to accommodate school schedules but you alsp frel like that will diminish your perception as a contrubutor. There are lots of men with wives that stay at home so you can see how the culture is mire male centered. "
