DuPont Reviews

Former Employee – worked at DuPont full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Relaxing , but productive. employee's the best , they seem to hire well, salary is very good, will not match this outside the company doing the same line of work.
Management easy to converse with, they actually listern to issues and idea's, take on board and support you in improvments.
Very Informative on the way the business is performing and what needs to change if anything, they involve eveyone in making changes etc.
Good pension , share options

Cons – To much red tape at times.
Slow in making decisions.
HR (UK) not Bristol very slow and not up to date with HR laws etc, have to research yourself. need a few more people in this role / department

Advice to Senior Management – Look at the big pictue, and ask yourself "what if" before making job / life changing decisions .
Sales should sell, not just looking after their current customer base, look and research for new opportunities, they are out there.

Current Employee – been working at DuPont full-time for more than a year

Pros – Challenging assignments really push engineers technically. Very safety-focused. Stable employment. Wide variety of opportunities within the various businesses. Many businesses are really at the cutting edge of technology.

Cons – Salary is average. Very little take-home incentive to over-achieve as a young engineer. Projects follow a "rush and stop" flow a lot of the time. Good performers are rewarded with more work and longer hours.

Advice to Senior Management – Ensure adequate pay for your top employees. In other words, provide a larger incentive for excellent performance. The only way to recruit the best of the best out of school is to provide a financially-strong offer.

Current Employee – been working at DuPont full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Good place to work if you wand a “job” where mediocre work is treated the same as hard work.
Seams like DuPont is not interested in hiring the best and the brightest. If this is you, then DuPont is a great fit.

Cons – Slow to respond to changing business environment.
Talent is not rewarded. Management is only now trying to address the growing disillusionment of medium to long term professionals. “To little to late” is the common sentiment of engineers and other professionals that are leaving after 2 to 10 years with the company to get similar jobs in the same region for much higher pay.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop relying on your reputation as a solid company, and pay comparable salaries to you talent.
