Pros
It used to be a great place to work. The people are some of the best though they might be at their worst right now due to no fault of their own. Now that the company is being stripped apart there is not much left to like. Wait to apply until after the activist investor is through with DuPont and moved on to another company and then give it a year.
Cons
Drastic downsizing and reorganization causing frightening instability at all levels. Benefits also degrading rapidly. Work place environment is highly stressful. Company is stingy with the resources you need to do your job. IT is non-existent. Takes days if not weeks to get anything fixed. No retirement plan other than 401K if you're new, Medical doesn't cover much and has a very high deductible - bad if you have a family and are the only provider. Good dental if you pay for the better plan. Also vacation is limited - you can't accrue much past 4 weeks. Get hired now and you could end up doing the work of three people after half your group is let go - lay offs are rampant right now. Bonuses are harder to earn company wide and ratings are given on a curve . Another words the system is fixed so that they the majority gets the minimum and only a few get the maximum. There is no job security. Morale is almost non-existent. DuPont is now an extremely stressful place to work and is highly dysfunctional.
