Pros
The companies culture is consistently improving under the new CEO Lal. There was always a lot of things to like about the culture, but management definitely had some old-school types, and none were worse than the prior CEO David Farr. Under Lal's leadership a lot of great new policies have been put in place that are making things better for everyone.
Cons
Salary is truly the everlasting problem at Emerson, and it causes consistent enough turnover that can cause departments to struggle. HR spends so much time figuring out how to keep salaries dead average in the market, ensuring anyone who truly excels finds a better position elsewhere eventually. The other issue tends to be a lack of resources on R&D Spending. Our competition clearly outspends us in this area, and I always worry that we have no ability to ever truly catch up or surpass them.
