Monsanto Company (NYSE:

biotechnology industry, according to the recent
2007 Top Biotech and Pharma Employers survey conducted by

our mission of helping farmers be more profitable and
productive, we have to start with dedicated and talented people.
We've just completed a remarkable year, and the dedication,
effort and teamwork at Monsanto play an important role in that
success."

worst employers. They then rated these companies on 23 different
attributes. Attribute categories included Corporate Image,
