The New DuPont: Evidence that Ed Breen is a "one-hit-wonder" (i.e., Tyco)

Pros

Well-known company; people will have heard of the company you work for (e.g., the 2020 movie Dark Waters). A great company to "short" in the stock-market.

Cons

Constant state of dismantlement; ridiculously overcommitted to social justice/diversity/inclusion initiatives at the expense of hiring competent talent. The Dow-DuPont "neither-of-us-have-an-innovative-ideas, so-let's "merge and synergize (i.e., fire a bunch of people)" merger, was Ed Breen's "brain-child." This mis-guided vision for mediocrity resulted in mass layoffs and a three-way spin into: Dow, Corteva, and Remainco (DuPont). Thanks to Ed Breen, the three companies are now worth far less today than they were as either the merged "DowDuPont" and the pre-merged "Heritage Dow" and "Heritage DuPont". After the spin-offs, Breen installed veteran stooge DuPont executive Marc Doyle to absorb some of the predictable "heat" that resulted from such gross miss-management. Doyle was sacked after 8 months and Breen was re-instated to "save" DuPont. Both Breen and Doyle over-invested in diversity and inclusion and "social justice" initiatives at the expense of profits and, frankly, anything resempling a cogent business model bound by common sense. So now, it's a great place to be LGBQT+ unless you like job security. Nice going Ed!

Pros

None whatsoever for this location

Cons

Unplanned weekend work. Operators don't want to work hard. Management doesn't care about the employees. All around terrible working culture. They talk alot about safety, but if you get hurt on the job you can almost guarantee being fired.
