Pros

DuPont is a dynamic, well-established company that definitely offers challenging opportunities for those who are willing to step up to the plate and take them. DuPont employs some incredibly talented people -- especially in R&D -- and seems to be committed to "going where the growth is." In other words, the company seems to be committed to adapting to a changing global economy. The company also recognizes the need for work/life balance and offers flexibility in that regard.

Cons

In my function, there seems to be an old-school attitude that one is hired for life. Very little differentiation (at least in my function) between those who consistently work hard/contribute and those who do not. The company's great attitude about work/life balance is sometimes taken advantage of, apparently without much consequence.

Pros

You get to say you are working at a large Fortune 500 company. You will be exposed to many different styles of management. The people you will be working with will be generally considered to be the best in the profession.

Cons

The growth right now is not there for the company, and it hasn't been there for some time now. They are being killed by the rising costs of raw materials like oil and natural gas. You are going to have a hard time moving up in the company as it is very regimented and hierarchail. The benefits package has grown worse and worse over time.
