Pros

Excellent benefit structure for a Fortune 200 company. Adheres to a program fostering independent judgment and analysis. Extremely interested in continuous training of employees at the managerial level.

Cons

Very driven by analyst thinking relative to share price. Does not have a long term mindset in too many cases. The company can have very unrealistic expectations for operating margins in some of their business segments.

Pros

The culture at our office was really good most of the time. The benefits were great and the salaries were ok. I really did enjoy the people I worked with and made life long friends while there.

Cons

The leadership of this company is clueless, directionless, idea-less, and ultimately evil. For many years the company took on several different ideas and directions, never sticking with one of them longer than 6 months. ITW knows how to manufacture products and get them to customers. Unfortunately for the building components world, they do not know how to deal with engineers or how to design and upgrade computer software. Customers were left just as frustrated and confused as employees, ultimately leaving for competitors in droves. ITWBCG is also very efficient at conducting lay offs and cut backs when things don't go there way, which is often. I am surprised they haven't closed this business as I do not see it competing with better run organizations. Customers know this and will be hard pressed to ever comeback or buy from ITWBCG.
