Pros

Reputable company with above average products.

Cons

If you make goal one year get ready, you WON’T make it the next! Basically you can expect a good bonus 1 out of 3 years. In the years you don’t have a shot it’s known as a “correction year”, where you scrap by with below average pay trying to do as little as possible. Expectations and pay aren’t inline and this company could care less about morale. Unless you leave emerson and come back, you won’t make near what you can at other companies in the industry. If you hire in early in your career and they get you cheap, expect that to follow you throughout your time with the company.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
