Pros

Growing, forward looking and adjusts to global financial outlook. Lead by a top notch CEO. Very large company, lots of opportunity.

Cons

Very risk averse, in some instances paralyzingly slow to move. Business Unit autonomy is a plus, until we try and deploy One Emerson Technologies. This can be very difficult and very slow across the platforms with differing agendas.

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.
