Pros
Dupont offers a lot of opportunity to explore to different careers. They have great benefits and the compensation is generous. They have a strong focus on people treatment, fairness, and work-life balance. Those that are interested (and competent) have opportunities to climb the ladder and experience expat assignments. Overall, a good place to work if you are career focused and can handle the lack of excitement and energy often found in smaller companies.
Cons
Unfortunately, quite a number of downsides: 1. Virtually no training at all. When you take a new assignment, you are on your own. You better know how to navigate an organization which includes finding your own mentor so that you don't sink. 2. A lot of bureaucracy, slow to make decision, and very risk adverse. 3. No real opportunities for creativity. There is a patter in terms of how things get done and you will be assimilated. 4. This is probably the worst. There is no US market left for DD. The growth areas are outside of the US. So while different career opportunities exist that mostly are not in the US. US remains the "administrative" head quarters.
