      Megalithic, faceless, multinational corporation.

      Pros

      Benefits are good. Pay and working conditions depend on your position and the business unit you hire into. Some business units are OK, some are not. Politics and luck will play a great part in advancement.

      Cons

      Though the overall business model is decentralized, major policy decisions are made by people in Illinois. This means that people who have no experience in your particular industry will make sweeping policy changes that the people who actually do the work must live with. The basic problem is a cookie cutter approach to all business decisions. If you hire into a newly acquired business unit, you may find considerable turmoil and disruption as ITW executives remold the culture in their image.

      Opportunity for career advancement but no work/life balance.

      Pros

      Lots of training and opportunities to learn new things. Great benefits. Great company for new grads because they will be given more freedom and will not be held to the same standards as longer tenured employees.

      Cons

      Management changes course...FREQUENTLY. A top project today may be dissolved in 6 months. You have to be adaptable but sometimes too much change at once is difficult to recover from. The restructuring does not appear to have been planned well. Some facilities have become ghost towns. Picking a divisional HQ, that isn't equipped to be a HQ, because the GM is based there...not exactly forward thinking.

      Pros

      - Some of the people who work there are very nice

      Cons

      - Very poor management - They do not care about their employees, regardless if you've been there for 10 months or 10 years - They fire you on the spot when you put in your leave notice - Very poor communication - Not open to new ideas or ways of doing things - A lot of talking behind each others back (especially from upper-management) - The outlook of the company does not look good, going through MAJOR changes
