Pros

Large organization with ample opportunity to learn from experienced individuals. Willing to relocate employees who express an interest in pursuing career options. DuPont does seem to "take care of their own"

Cons

It is a conservative company (Large, 200+ yrs old) that is often slow to make decisions or decisions need to gain approval at a higher level than compared to small, more entrapanurial organizations. There are also a large number of long-time DuPont employees (20+ yrs of service with DuPont) which fosters a "We've always done it this way" mentality. One additiona concern is the "We're DuPont" attitude and the customer and suppliers will comply with our practices because "We are DuPont"

DuPont - Good company but needs improvement

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

DuPont has been great for early career experiences. It allows you to go beyond your core training and advance into other fields if you desire. DuPont also allows for a flexible work environment with good benefits. Great if you get involved in programs like Field Engineering Program or Marketing Leadership Development Program (MLDP). Very diverse businesses (Ag, Electronics, Paint, Construction, Safety, Fibers) and the company has a strong global reach.

Cons

If you are looking to advance quickly, DuPont has its limits. Also they do a poor job in career management beyond the first few years. The company has a very old workforce which can be challenging for new employees. Finally any advanced degrees earned while working at DuPont is not recognized as a benefit to the company unless you leave the company and come back into a different business.

Not a bad place to work at DuPont

Black belt

Business Outlook

Pros

Good 401K benefits, job security, longevity. The average age of the company is at least late 40s, reflecting the fact that few people have left the company in the past and often work for them until retirement.

Cons

Culture is difficult to change and the salaries are not as competitive with similar external companies. There is a significant bureaucracy and many parts of the organization have their individual fiefdoms so coordinated actions across all business units in the company is difficult.
