Creative problem solvers who translate leading science into

Our early-career engineers shared this
insight on working for DuPont:
“Respect for people, high ethics and high value
for safety are not values held by all companies. I
like working for a company that lives by these
values.”
“I love the diversity of the work. DuPont makes
so many different products that every project I
work on involves learning something new.”
“I had opportunity and accountability starting
from the first day on the job.”
“Great place to start your career because there
are a wide variety of resources that help a young
engineer, including technical standards and
senior engineers.”
DuPont engineers are not just
employees – they’re people too

involved. Internally, we foster networking
