Pros

If you have a vision or idea people listen here with an open mind. Managers and employees have extensive experience. It is a 9-to-5 job and unless a special project is going on which means you are home early and regularly. Initiative is well received and team members work hard together to figure out all the pieces of the puzzle. People are willing to teach and cross-train functionally to share responsibilities and workflow.

Cons

Sometimes the scope of the project is lost if it gets too overwhelming or the big picture is not taken into account. Work builds up very easily unless you push back. Problems are assigned almost on an individual basis so if you don’t figure it out in September then it’s going to still be waiting for you in February of next year. However they do listen when you say that you need help and provide assistance so you can get the most important things done. Too soon to tell if change has a larger impact on workflow and benefits for all.

Pros

A great place to work in the ITW family. Each division is somewhat autonomous and follows general ITW business operating principles such as 80/20 and Enterprise strategy. These principles seem to help transform the divisions and make them more efficient and profitable. ITW is very disciplined.

Cons

ITW focuses on execution, 80/20 principles intensively. Its innovation strategy of customer back does not leave much room for out of the box innovation.
