A solidly profitable and financially conservative diversified manufacturer
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The company is very smart allocating resources. Focused on sustainable and highly profitable manufacturing business, resulting in stable business and good benefits. Business decision delegated to division level encourages entrepreneur spirit and proactive decision making to mid-level employees. Thin and flat structure means your career might grow fast if you fit right in. Overall good working relationship among employees and people treated with respect.
Cons
Product development strategy tends to be conservative and resources focused on fewer projects deemed important. Might be a challenge to try new ideas here and there.
- Former Employee★★★★★
friendly working vibe, professional coworkers, efficient communication.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Diversity and Inclusion. The friendly working vibe, responsible and professional coworkers and bosses.
Cons
High decentralization leads to a lack of standard and inefficient cooperation between different divisions.
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Great Products and Great History
Cons
Company has gone through so many changes in the past few years. Management changes, mergers, let go lots of people that made the company great and replaced them with people who didn't know the industry or customer base. Parts of the company had consecutive years of poor sales and they didn't look back at what was successful in the past and only pushed forward with the changes that helped cause the poor sales.

Pros
Great benefits and values - live and breathes. Loved it!
Cons
On divisional level, there is generally a disconnect; at times felt that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. Staying in contact with corporate employees helped bridge that gap.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits, health dental, life, 401K, matching funds.
Cons
Unfair upper management, forcing people to wear masks unless vaccinated. They truly don't care about their workforce, they just care about the money they making.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Amazing work environment, great benefits, focus on work/life balance, actually cares about their employees.
Cons
In Baltimore even though they almost always hire people from outside of Maryland in order to find competent people for engineering or management positions.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Invest time in elevating employees within. Diversified manufacturing allows for growth in different business segments if interested in other fields to explore. A highly competitive environment could be a CON too, for some.
Cons
The 80/20 concept. Although at its core it is meant to help prioritize tasks/projects, it often gets taken literally and used for tasks employees do not want to complete right away. The misuse of this concept creates a hostile environment for collaborative efforts.
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
I absolutely loved the people I worked with and the people I met during my time with ITW. There is so much room from growth and development within this single company due to their size and global presence.
Cons
ITW is a very big, decentralized company so business culture and personal experiences can vary dramatically. This is improving, but is still ubiquitous. Benefits are on the conservative end of the spectrum, which can be challenging for those who wish to grow-from-within since all promotions or position moves use existing salary to determine new salary, regardless of the level of the move or the experience of the individual.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Profitable business, talented people from top to bottom
Cons
Business is in a long term transition, consolidation and centralization is taking place and will likely continue for quite awhile. Management systems are not modern and do not work with great efficiency. People are professional but morale is low.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Great company in many ways, but way behind on the technology and software.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Safe work environment, many employee resource groups.
Cons
Hard to be efficient at job without technology. Many people have been here so long they don't want to change.
