Pros

ITW is a financially stable global company with a very diversified set of businesses. It performs well against peers as whole. In general, it takes a long view to make its businesses successful. There is a sincere intent to keep and continuously improve company culture. If you want to succeed at this company - look for relocation opportunities. Good growth roles open up frequently and are there if one wants to move around. Most people do not and that leads to limited opportunities and dissatisfaction.

Cons

Your experience will vary depending on: which division you work at, if that business is profitable and growing or not. There are some businesses which are not delivering strong results and that drives decisions like layoffs and restructuring. Working at ITW corporate is also totally different compared to working in a division. Many folks in corporate roles have never been in the shoes of the divisional employees and do not realize what it takes to deliver. That causes friction.
