Pros

There might 5 good people left at the company

Cons

Ingredion sells its self as a place to be that has a good company culture but it is a hollow sell. Within the last year many good knowledgeable people, leaders in the industry have been let go ruthlessly. People with over 10, 15, 20 years experience who brought value and customers to ingredion just let go. Meanwhile the ceo gets an extension on staying - found a "loophole" in the company by laws to still stay as CEO as good people are being shown the door. REALLY???? I know people there who say its toxic there now and the people who were let go are the lucky ones. Thats sad from where Ingredion used to be 5-7 years ago.

Good resume builder

Pros

You can gain a lot of extremely valuable experience to put on a resume in just 1-2 years

Cons

A lot of people use this place like a jumping pad to a better place. Expect to wear many hats and be stressed and stretched thin, priorities will change daily/weekly/monthly. A lot of backstabbing, gossip where everyone can hear, yelling. Expect a lot of oncall and a lot of sleepless nights, especially in the beginning. Seems like most process engineers are only here for 1-3 years before they switch companies/industries.

Don't waste your time

Pros

Good health benefits once you're are hired on and the majority of the worker bees are nice and friendly. The pay before they pile on additional work or as they like to call it "sharing responsibilities". You get to work from home a couple days a week. If you have your OMM card they wont fire you for failing a drug test. Trust me you'll need this after a long day of mind numbing work.

Cons

In the beginning, your work will be constantly changing. As time progresses, you'll be expected to take on more task and responsibilities. While work loads and hours increase the pay remains stagnant. During busy months you are required to work overtime no matter your situation. The atmosphere is very call center-esque, without having to answer inbound calls. You'll work in a 2.5'x2.5' space with plexiglass dividers and feel what I can only imagine a fish feels like in an aquarium. The training you receive depends on the knowledge your co-worker was given, as it is passed down from person to person. Training manuals are vague and you're expected to figure it out and go with the flow. Management secretly monitors/listens to you through the microphone on your laptop. Don't believe me try to disable the microphone setting. I didn't want to believe this. Then I had a conversation with my manager and they used specific proverbial nomenclature only I've used. Definitely TOP 3 of the worst places I've worked.
