Pros
Well respected. Excellent brand name

Going through a merger with Dow Chemicals. Increasingly Global marketing approach, so limited opportunities for ideas and input at the country level.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at DuPont full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Remuneration package inclusive of company share scheme, private health care, holiday bonus etc is fantastic. Time off is another advantage. Excellent shift pattern, four on six off.
Cons
Not entitled to full holiday compliment till 20 years of service.
Advice to Management
Some senior management lack realistic ideas and implement things just for the sake of it, not for the overall benefit of the Company.

RecommendsNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at DuPont for more than a year
Pros
- Great culture and core values - Science at the heart of the business - Many different businesses in the portfolio allowing you to move into new career opportunities
Cons
- Matrix environment - Slow response to market - Huge pressure on Sales forecasts, sometimes weekly follow ups to meet the EPS - The merger ahead with Dow could bring heavy downsizing
Advice to Management
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend - I'm optimistic about the outlook after the Dow merger and subsequently separation in 3 companies.

Poor management, work politics, not much professional development / training - hard to get approval for anything lately especially after the reduction of staff and the upcoming merger with Dow.

Be open to your employee's advice and opinions. Listen to your employees. Reduce bureaucracy.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at DuPont full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
A really large organisation with many openings and opportunities
Cons
Overly concerned with petty issues and do not trust their employees in my experience. Management expect too much from smaller workforce after restructuring to save money. Reps working huge areas and not allowed to answer their phones on the road, always playing catch-up
Advice to Management
Your employees are what makes the company work so treat them like adults
