      Can be a rewarding place to work

      Pros

      Emerson generally tends to be a place where your contribution is valued and desired. Inventorship on patents is generously rewarded and pay in general is considered good by industry standards.

      Cons

      Emerson has not been a place, however, of much upward mobility, at least in engineering. The tendency is to increase your workload and responsibility without any adjustment to title or pay grade. This is especially true when dividing up the responsibilities of someone who leaves among those remaining instead of hiring a replacement.

      Pros

      A problem solving organization. Overall the company is financially well managed, invests heavily in new technology development, drives innovation, and is a thought leader striving to be #1 or #2 in markets served. Most people are customer focused and work well together to develop solutions that deliver significant results. Compensation and benefits are okay. In general work / life balance is good for most people.

      Cons

      Too many silos. Organizational design, goals, measures, rewards, and incentives are not always optimal to encourage collaboration or best results across departments, regions, or business units. Heavily matrixed organization can make it challenging to gain approvals, buy-in, or consensus to change. Also, there are fairly limited opportunities to take foreign assignments, however, most global leadership or subject matter expert positions typically require extensive international travel 50%+.
