Pros

Caring people with good intentions.

Cons

DuPont Sustainable Solutions is not a DuPont company. It was purchased by private VC from overseas. This new company has an agreement with DuPont to use its name and logo for the next few years. It is composed of less than 700 people and recently they laid off a good percentage of their Learning and development group. This new organization lacks clarity, a good understanding of the L&D world and have a tendency to shoot for future technology which they lack the infostructure and sound knowledge. The same old management that forced DuPont to sell this part of their business is still running the show. Either you obey and do as your told or you are forced out through deceit and lies. The new company edict is to help protect and save lives through their business is figurative at best. There sales force makes commitments to clients which they can’t keep due to lack of working knowledge on how to achieve it. Stay away it will only bring you down and limit your growth.

Pros

dss+ is a 6-year old carve out, making it an exciting place to join while it is still forming. This provides great opportunities to learn and grow while contributing to a global organization built around the purpose of saving lives. Firm values are deeply embedded and brought to life in a real way unique compared to other organizations, and people truly care about each other. For those looking for a growing firm with a global footprint, this is a great place to start/continue your career. Benefits are the best of any organization I've worked at in a multi-decade career.

Cons

As a newer firm, some foundational elements are still being built - this can be exciting and viewed as an opportunity for some and may be challenging for those used to more mature organizations who like established systems, processes, and procedures.

Pros

Unfortunately. There are none to highlight.

Cons

Leadership is entirely dysfunctional and poorly organized. The leader of the Americas has no vision. The industry leaders have no vision. The company continues to lay people off while hiring more people at the same time. Most of the people who work here still think they work for DuPont (get a grip y'all, dss hasn't been a part of DuPont in more than 5 years)
