Pros

DuPont has been an incredible blessing in my life by allowing me to explore different career avenues. The Field Engineering Rotational Program gave me wonderful experiences managing projects, acting as a business consultant, and exposed me to various career options. In summary, my resume is looking incredible! Also, having worked in other companies I can attest that DuPont has either one of the best, or THE BEST, corporate culture out there. Everyone (most) are friendly and respectful. Though it can get a bit "competitive" as in any other company when competing for select positions, for the most part everyone really helps each other.

Cons

You are not rewarded by your individual contributions. Having personally brought in, personally, Millions of revenue for the company, I got just a pat on the back and the same bonus. In fact, your individual performance factor is at an insignificant level. You are 10x more likely to get fired here for not holding a hand rail, than actually doing your work (seriously).

Pros

DuPont does expose you to multiple areas of personal/professional growth. With the diversity of products and services DuPont offers, it's very easy to get exposure to a diverse amount of markets and job types which certainly helps your professional growth. In addition, DuPont is (or at least they used to be) pretty generous about allowing for opportunities for education and professional development. I was able to get a variety of leading and relevant certifications and degree (MBA) with DuPont's support.

Cons

They are going through a major upheaval at this point in time which has caused the company to be more reactive than strategic, and more short term vs. long term focused. This results in a working environment that can be highly stressful, confusing, and unstable. People treatment behavior has lowered significantly and turnover is probably at an all-time high. DuPont used to pride itself on striving for World Class Manufacturing but now that it's laid off so many of it's continuous improvement and productions systems resources, it's all about getting to the next quarter targets...by any means necessary.
