Emerson reviews

The company acts as a "good old boys club" only the people in "know" would be promoted regardless of their poor work ethic or lack of ability to do the job. As a result of this the entire management chain is largely full of incompetence while the hard working individual contributor is left frustrated. The management to individual contributor ratio is massive and causes tons of dysfunction as you can never get a clear answer on the work you're supposed to be doing. One manager will tell you one thing, then a director will tell you another, and then a VP a completely separate thing. As a result very little progress ever gets made at the company. No one gets held accountable for poor work, and there seems to be no benefit to working hard, the harder you work the more boundaries you run into. Optics at this company matter waaay more than how much work you actually contribute. It's an okay place to work if you're okay going in 40 hours a week and turning your brain off, otherwise stay away. As a male working there it also didn't appear that women were treated well, I had not heard any co-workers or managers ever say positive things about any female co-workers.

too many lies from management
