Flexible worktime and the kind friendly colleagues are the biggest pros
Cons
Micromanagement, misleading communication from management, poor planning of projects, constant pressure from leaders, embarassing colleagues in front of others, not clear future, cannot advance in your career

Thank you for sharing your experience of working with Emerson. We are pleased that worktime flexibility and the nature of your colleagues was able to help with your time at the company. We understand your concerns regarding the culture, project planning, lack of projection in the future as well as career planning; and we will address this with the concerned departments.
Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.
Cons
(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it.
(2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture.
(3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable.
(4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities.
(5) I was one of those minorities.
