Solid and ethical company

Pros

Eaton is truly a first class company. Above all, they treat their employees well and present themselves as extremely ethical. I left the company to start my own business ... if it wasn't for that, I would still be there!

Cons

Applying for jobs from outside the company is extremely challenging. They have an extremely high preference for internal candidates.
