Pros

Diverse global team. Varied work across projects in the Commercial Buildings, Data Centre and Industrial space with potential to have big impact. Leadership development opportunities. Nice modern office with parking & EV charging available. Benefits of a large company - travel, employee assistance program, further education, large network, wellness voucher. Culture of ethics and sustainability. Competitive salary.

Cons

With such a diversified project portfolio, the work can lack focus. Working with many cross-functional teams across time-zones, collaboration can be strained and calendars full of meetings. No company stock purchasing plan or share benefits (for junior employees anyway...)

Pros

Q & CI are supported overall from the top. Quality Management Systems and procedures are embedded in the company culture...across all of Eaton. No matter what site or city you go to, it is overall the same QMS. Roles and processes are standardized, people know where to find their standard work and understand the processes...although not always followed. Overall support of iERGs is good. A lot of people stay for their entire career, so longevity can be a pro, but a con as well. Company recognition is good overall.

Cons

Low pay. Good ol' boy network for promotions. Slow to promote. Calibration process for annual performance ratings is a bit questionable at times. Company culture drastically changed over the years as LDPs (Leadership Development Participants...a rotational program) started being promoted too quickly without the maturity, wisdom and experience needed for the roles. Lack of diversity at local sites, although corporate level roles were very diverse.
