Good Company Decent place to work

Software Engineer (Current Employee)
Pune

I have been working at Eaton full-time for more than a year

ProsYou get to choose the kind of work you want once you prove your capability. Overall a decent place to work. Makes you feel satisfied work wise. Compensation benefits are good

n a nutshell, if you are here for learning...then you are be at right place.

ConsThere will be longer work schedules which sometimes becomes painful. Employee-Manager transparency about the goals accomplished (to be) is not very good.

Advice to Senior ManagementSenior management and HR administration need to work closely and structure the policies to be more employee friendly

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Only bhaashan, nothing true

Engineer (Former Employee)
Pune

I worked at Eaton as a contractor for more than a year

ProsPay is slightly higher than most in industry
Nice work life balance
"Bhaashan" about ethics and encouragement to innovation

ConsNone of their ethics related rules apply when the perceived culprit is an american and the victim happens to be indian

innovation according to eaton India is "field application engineering" where you put together bunch of existing eaton products. this combo forms a new "innovative product". no encouragement is given for fresh thinking. extremely stable company (read 'static')

all work has to be generated and driven from US. they dont need employees in India to be thinkers, they should only be good followers (i dont want to use the word "slaves")

Advice to Senior Managementgrow up, americans are not Gods

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
