Pros

Stability, good work life balance, respect for people is a core value and they back it up. Trying to be a very green and enviromentally responsible company, Average salary and health care, can find lots of better options though, great 401k matching (9%) but no more pension.

Cons

Poor balancing of work load to resources, tough place to get fired from (not a good thing, too many poor performers), current CEO very cost sensitive (i.e. cheap), asked employees to take up to 2 weeks of unpaid vacation in 2009 when the company made $2B+ profit. No perks of working for a large company like travel, fitness facilities, ability to attend training & conferences, etc.

Insight into working at Dupont

Pros

It was a great place for advancement opportunities and exposure to different aspects of the business. I had a great sense of pride in working for a company where I could see the products made used in everyday life.

Cons

Since it's such a large manufacturing site, it can be overwhelming if you come from a smaller company. Also getting used to the Dupont terminology and acronyms could be a bit much from time to time. There also didn't seem to be a good flow of communication between departments.
