      Pros

      The work life balance is amazing. Any time needed for family or time off is given without question, if you even have to ask for it. They want and expect life time employees. The 401k benefits are also very good. The corporate brand equity is strong and can open B2B doors.

      Cons

      It is a very industrial, old, relationship based work environment. 35 to 40 is still considered young and inexperienced, especially if your entire career was not in the company. It feels as if the corporation is running off of its historical achievements while struggling to find its foothold on the future.

      The ship is sinking and everyone is comfortably numb.

      Pros

      There are a wide variety of businesses to tranfer between when your current position is getting stale or cut. DuPont had a tendency to promote from within, so you could start out as an engineer or chemist and end your career in legal, HR, R&D, management, operations, or sales and marketing. This has only gradually begun to change such that DuPont is starting to hire externally for transferable skills such at IT.

      Cons

      No matter what division, management is highly politically correct, to the point where quality of management has suffered greatly. Many fine and talented employees are passed over for promotions in order to meet an established quota that management is graded and rewarded for meeting. It sounds good in social theory, but the consequences are simply horrific. Nimrods run organizations where it is intuitively obvious they are way over their heads. It's only the talent beneath them that keeps the ship afloat and lurching forward.

      Very poor management and poor atmosphere to work in Barley Mill Plaza.

      Pros

      Dupont offers good compensation package compared to other companies in wilmington, de.

      Cons

      You can the best hardest working employee but you will still stay at the same level you were when you were hired. Unless of course you are very good at kissing some major butt with your managers. I say Managers because every year you work you will wind up with a different manager who has absolutely know idea what you do but yet when it comes to your review will give you a negative one. Also, if you enjoy switching jobs every 2 years for the next 30 years then this is the place for you.
