      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.

      Pros

      Spent the best years of my working life with ITW. Seeked help, Saw professional psychiatrist, Therapist. Took a leave of absence, only to return to a Camara added to the production floor pointed at my desk....that was the fun stuff...see cons. I worked my best years. Best years I had to give. 45-60 hr weeks!! So at 55 you wanted me gone! I have all the emails printed from my days at ITW, including pictures of cameras on my desk, men using the bathroom and the clueless emails from an HR dept with more turn over rate then chewing gum... YOU DID ME WRONG!!!

      Cons

      From 2016 to 2021, numerous complaints about MEN walking in and using the one women's Bathroom, while I was in there. Camera added to production floor at my desk, changed my title from Manufacturing Tech, to machine set up. I was written up for using my sick time...didn't go over. Still had 150 hrs of earned time on the books. Was brought in to talk to HR, only to be written up because I was so upset I had to go home...written up for that ( stop preaching.. equality, respect and support) there is NONE. was lied to by HR, my job was very quickly Changing, no more emails, support for doing the ordering and building 🙃 of Holographic Cylinders. I did this job exclusively for 13 years alone!! Then the new young Supervisor, gave me a helper...who I trained...only to be walked out the door 6 months later as I was told my job was being eliminated.. really YOU GO ITW!! I have hundreds of emails, pictures, along with proof you pushed me out! You didn't even try to. What I went through at the price of a managerial love for Brotherly love.

      Pros

      Decent benefits. Classic and timeless brands

      Cons

      In my opinion, ITWFEG has become a place where leadership will try to make your job miserable enough that you quit. If that doesn’t work, they’ll manufacture a narrative to justify firing you. That’s what happened to me after nearly seven years of strong performance. What was once a proud, respected company is now overrun with fear, backroom deals, and toxic leadership. People are leaving in droves—and for good reason.
