Pioneer reviews

As DuPont corporate has become more deeply involved in the affairs of the company, there has been a marked shift in the attitude toward employees. Instead of being regarded as assets that should be supported to maximum productivity, employees are now clearly regarded as costs that must be minimized. Chronic under-investment and the layering on of increasingly complex and burdensome administrative structures will probably make recovery and growth impossible, so cuts will grow worse over time. DuPont's attempt to run a business with multi-year product development cycles, relatively short product lifetimes, and a year-long production cycle on a quarter-by-quarter basis are also inflicting serious damage on the organization. Again, this will likely result in further cuts and degradation of the work environment over time.

Poor strategy and execution Little to no innovation Micromanagement by DuPont Constant reorganization and cost cutting Managing to quarterly financials rather than long term business goals Poor leadership No opportunities for training, growth, or promotion
