Pros

De-centralized culture is very empowering to each business. ITW pushes best practices to all of their businesses - 80/20, kanban, etc. Diverse company with lots of opportunities. Significant US manufacturing locations. Many businesses are global. Great opportunities for anyone with global management experience tired of the "big corporate"

Cons

Not a lot of corporate support, thus you are responsible for making a lot of decisions on your own (IT, legal, etc)

Pros

Good benefits, stable pay, good hours

Cons

Upward mobility is a popularity contest not based on merit, experience or ability, management poor communication or non existent, engineers make changes without consulting the people who run the equipment, company focuses on short term profit over long term profit. Safety is a secondary concern over profit.
