Good learning background as a career starting point & benefic environment towards the end of the career
Pros
Dynamic working environment with increased learning opportunity, sustained mainly by learning on the job process (however, little or no professional trainings). The working environment is friendly, with well-educated peers, providing the opportunity to observe and interact with various business cultures. Good interaction with senior management, who usually adopt an open attitude towards ongoing processes.
Cons
Emerson structure at itself generates differences between business platforms and business units, that arise in both working requirements & expectations as well as employees’ compensation & benefits. This can and does create frustrations among employees working in a service / engineering center as Cluj office. Poor work/life balance with tremendous overtime hours. Employees in the shared services centers have to cope with the glass ceiling effect, as there are usually limited professional development opportunities. Compensation merely changes year on year, with no negotiation opportunity, regardless of the performance, which translates in unhappy employees working for several years in the company. Local administration is highly bureaucratic, while local management performs poorly in motivating and keeping the employees involved.
