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.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
