      Pros

      Private company family feel with the support of fortune 200 parent. Company is actively working to become more diverse (female and race). Great place to work for talented folks how have lots of career runway.

      Cons

      Enterprise strategy is chasing away long term talent with vast institutional know how and deep relationships. Losing the entrepreneurial spirit of the past.

      Pros

      Rich past rooted in a history of growth and entrepreneurship, ITW has a strong management toolbox, sound leadership at the platform level, and great stock performance. Unparalleled shareholder value/ROI.

      Cons

      Has become highly 'corporate', despite its foundation as decentralized and entrepreneurial. Promotes diversity over delivery of results. Has recently abandoned the concept of teamwork and strategic-alignment at the divisional level.

      Strong Company--but all about the numbers

      Pros

      Just look at the stock price. ITW is a strong company with a clear direction. ITW has resources and muscle and understands operational excellence with the best of them.

      Cons

      ITW is a keenly analytical organization--it's a core strength. But strengths to an extreme can be weaknesses. ITW is so numbers-driven, it can impede progress. What's more, it creates fear, as people who have been major contributors for decades are shown the door in order to save money or pursue a new direction. There is no such thing as security at ITW--I suspect it is by design.
