Pros

Unfortunately, there is not a single one! From the time I started with the company, the only consistency was inconsistency. The rules change based on who you are, and who likes you in management. You rarely get the same answer to the same question; management is completely biased, and supports you IF you are in the "In" crowd. It is too bad, because the LMS and training content are really great.

Cons

There is inconsistent direction, disfunction, extremely poor leadership, poor customer service, and no respect for employees. Management won't even talk to you if you aren't in the "In" crowd. They won't work with you on deals to win business unless they like you. Responsiveness to any issue is either extremely slow, or nonexistent. You may simply be ignored...over and over and over.

Pros

Relatively equitable salary and health benefits. I suppose as a research chemist in a large company, I was able over the years to command decent budgets for new equipment and supplies. Generally, I was able to attend at least one scientific meeting per year, and interact with colleagues outside of the company on occasion. The facilities were on a par with other places I have worked (lab, equipment, library, computers, cafeteria etc).

Cons

Where do I begin? Support staff is the biggest disappointment. Dupont management is terrified of unionized technical help and will do anything to keep the techs happy. Consequently the PI's are at the mercy of the English major technician mafia, and God forbid if anyone tries to right the apple cart or complain in any way. Next I would fault senior management for allowing PI's to work on sophomoronic and impossible goals. But then, most managers are so as they were the least competent at science in the first place. They bring true meaning to the company's motto "Miracles of Science". Meanwhile Dupont's patent positions suffer in so many fields, further lowering morale.

Pros

good place to ‘coast’; if you lack ambition.

Cons

i work in the water business. It is abysmal. There is little opportunity for growth. Progress is so slow that it effectively doesn’t happen. Dupont is no longer an innovation company. DuPont skipped annual pay increases for the second time in 5 years.
