Pros

Strong processes and diverse workforce. Lots of job functions and various products. High and low volume projects. Solid manufacturing process. Plenty of tools and resources. Great work environments.

Cons

Heavy management company. Very risk adverse not inventing new stuff. Marketing drives invention not engineering. It's a typical corporate company on a path to manage themselves not reinvent themselves.

Pros

Educational Assistance was positive, All hands reviews were a good insight to company news. There seemed to be some promotion potential if you were willing to move to rural sites in Georgia.

Cons

There is very poor high level business leadership and communicated direction for the business. The director of Engineering executed on layoffs and outsourced design work to Eaton's Indian Engineering resource center. Very difficult to work with other business functions at the site.

Pros

The work hours are flexible and they allow tele-work. Good place to learn ANSI drafting rigor, PLM/PDM system rigor, phase gated design process. Chance to experience cradle to grave product process. Great co-workers everyone is very supportive of each other. Sense of team. Very mixed workforce of younger and more experienced engineers. Also the products you design are built onsite so that is very beneficial to an engineer who needs to learn the manufacturing processes and design for manufacture.

Cons

Recent roll-out of bureaucratic "one size fits all" processes aimed at risk reduction in the products have made the design process cumbersome. The extra rigor was not matched by an increase in headcount and therefore meeting the project schedules on time means the average engineer has to work 50-60 hours per week.
