Why I love working for Emerson

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Most of the managers / directors are highly skilled individuals who employees can look up to and be inspired by (I am proud to say that even after working for my manager for several years, my respect for him has continuously grown as he always finds new ways to impress me). - The company invests a lot into employee trainings and, being such a large and global organization, it also offers plenty of development options for driven and talented individuals. - Upper management is not only friendly but also sets clear goals and expectations so that people are constantly aware of what the overarching organizational goals are. - Ethics is truly a core value and I am pleased to say that this is one of the most fair and honest places I have ever worked.

Cons

Being such a large scale organization, change (at any level) is pretty slow. However, I believe this to be a CON for most large scale organizations - not just Emerson in particular.
