DuPont Process and Control Engineer reviews

This company was great 15 years ago. Not a very entrepreneurial work environment, and the management structure is very dated. The culture is old-school, and people fear being punished if they admit a mistake. The company doesn't provide any social events to the employees. Now, everyone doesn't want to start a job for fear that they can't finish something. The work environment is very draining and inefficient. Giving 110% doesn't get appreciated unless you have a Degree from an ivy-league school. Boring jobs are given to very smart employees fresh out of college. The get stuck in a job with limiting scope that doesn't prepare them for the real world if they get downsized.

Former company was bought out by DuPont. When HR came to deliver everyone's "new" position and offer, the letter only had salary and title with absolutely no job description. This was the experience for 50+ people at the site. When I pressed management and HR for the need to include a description their only response was, "Just do what you've always done". Unfortunately, every contractor that came through the door kept asking where are all the other people to support your job, there should be four or more of you to cover the plant.
