Pros

ITW is made up of a lot of SMBs, each with relative autonomy on managing the business (with P&L targets.) No command and control from the top lets the business focus on what they know rather than having the suits calling the shots.

Cons

Fortune 200 company trying to function like a 200 employee company. The mindset of how to get things done doesn't scale at all when tackling large efforts.

Pros

Recently, ITW has taken a more active approach to leadership development and employee engagement. We could improve human resources at BUs.

Cons

There is a lack of clarity for how to get from one job to the next. General management is the only career path.
