Pros

Dupont is a great place to work if you are looking for work-life balance, professional development, and trying new careers. Also, DuPont's pay and benefits are very good versus many other chemical companies. Everyone is generally very friendly and polite. In addition, coworkers are frequently willing to help each other. DuPont religiously promotes safety at work.

Cons

Working harder and smarter is not rewarded and being lazy is not punished. DuPont's culture values time in level for promotions. Politics and being liked is very important to career advancement.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits compared with other chem companies. Work life balance in my current job. There are a variety of jobs available within the company. Work with many great people!

Cons

Musical bosses - management positions are stepping stones for those wanting to move up and are changed often. Many of these people are great engineers, but have zero people skills and are given very limited training for their new management roles. Work life balance is not supported adequately at the plant sites. Benefits have decreased over the last several years (medical insurance premiums, when reach medicare age - the med insurance does not pay remaining portion after medicare (remaining 20%), Reduced pension and survivor benefits for those employed before 2007(did improve 401k matching - for all the good it does in the current market!), no pension for new employees after 2007 Even though there are a variety of jobs available and open in DuPont, your business will not always release you and can hold you in your current role for an unlimited time.
