Slow to change; executives don't stand behind their strategy

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, strong emphasis on community giving, lots of opportunity to work in a wide range of areas.

Cons

The corporate strategy comes across like lip service. There's all these pillars but no one is really seeing any movement. It's a hierarchical company, it's not very diverse and the 80/20 philosophy is over-used and has been twisted in ways to allow management to skirt real issues. People seem more motivated by fear than values.

Tremendous potential in an explosive technology with strong channel partners. Benefits as a result of being part of ITW were very good.

Management was consistently poor for a numbers of years which polluted the culture and caused ongoing under performance of the teams and the company.

Culture is evolving -- much more draconian around cost management

Pros

The executives were down to earth, low ego

Cons

Decentralized culture can be hard to navigate. Focus is more on cost and downsizing now -- do more with less. Cutting into the muscle. Is is sustainable?
