Pros

Some great people to work with; interesting technology; job security; low expectations--great place to be mediocre. Tremendous narratives of growth.

Cons

Low expectations (demotivator for anyone who seeks to excel at work), mediocre salary and benefits (tries to be slightly above the median), when we merged with DOW we found out that DOW people made 15% more than DuPont people across the board. Bullet proof bureaucracy. Supervisors run programs to support the alternative facts they have been fabricating not reality. Managers seem to encourage rather than discourage that. Safety used to be a passion, now it has been relegated to liability management.

Pros

Great people, strong commitment to safety, competitive pay and benefits, and excellent work-life balance. The company provides opportunities to work on meaningful projects with talented cross-functional teams, and there is a culture of collaboration and continuous learning. Flexible work arrangements and supportive managers (depending on the organization) make it a great place to build a long-term career.

Cons

Frequent organizational changes and restructuring can create uncertainty, and decision-making can be slowed by bureaucracy. Career growth opportunities may be limited in some organizations, and employees can become siloed or feel disconnected depending on the role and team.
