Pros

Less psychopaths in management since the company only promotes based upon senority instead of "merit."

Cons

Not much opportunity for women, LGBQT folks or progressives, in general. Lots of associal, strangely, behaving male engineers work here. The benefits leave much to be desired. I wasn't allowed to take a single vacation day until I worked more than one year. I was told that vacation is only for two weeks and is non-negotiable. I found out that male employees and foreign national employees were allowed to negotiate up to five weeks vacation.

We appreciate your honest feedback. Not only does diversity of perspective exponentially benefit a company, including individuals with different perspectives in the discussions, in the meetings, in leadership…this truly propels a company forward. This feedback is quite concerning. Please connect with me direct at david.feldman@emerson so that we can discuss more. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact our ethics hotline: https://www.emerson.com/en-us/investors/corporate-governance/ethics-and-compliance. Thank you very much.

Pros

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.
