Pros

A great place to work in the ITW family. Each division is somewhat autonomous and follows general ITW business operating principles such as 80/20 and Enterprise strategy. These principles seem to help transform the divisions and make them more efficient and profitable. ITW is very disciplined.

Cons

ITW focuses on execution, 80/20 principles intensively. Its innovation strategy of customer back does not leave much room for out of the box innovation.

Too many layers of management. No promoting within. HR is a snails pace with applicants. Rules for different employee's. Pay is okay. 401k Match excellent!

Monthly written communications and quarterly live town hall sessions were a starting point for us as the business experienced change.
