Pros

There are some fantastic, hardworking people at ingredion. People who are passionate, knowledgeable and talented. There are opportunities to work with teams all over the world.

Cons

My entire team resigned within a month of each other because of one toxic and incompetent manager. This manager had already driven away several of their direct reports. We all clearly stated that their poor management and lack of knowledge was the reason for us leaving. Nearly 6 months later, they are still in post, despite being the sole reason for losing at least 5 talented and dedicated team members. That should tell you everything you need to know about the culture. Working here destroyed my mental health and yet they constantly talk about their inclusive company values.

Pros

Solid base with core business, cash available. International culture.

Cons

Stringy. Want to grow and beat competition by just wanting it, not prepared to invest into people and resource. Hoping to do everything on the cheap, trying to substitute resource with pressure. Goals and means to achieve goals are miles apart. 99% of the employees come from food science and related fields, struggle to think and operate outside this narrow box. Can only market basic starch products. Lot of fanfare about diversity but it is only about the superficial element: gender, race etc. nothing about skills, training, experience, attitude.
