Pros

I joined the Engineers in Leadership program a few years ago. It has been a fantastic opportunity with broad exposure to leadership and the industrial businesses. I have received fantastic training and a platform to build my career skills. You get significant exposure to executives and special roles that give you an opportunity to develop yourself and work on interesting projects. I would highly recommend this program to any college students considering a career in manufacturing. It's certainly been a career accelerator. And that's without even mentioning the international opportunity - which is a unique experience and incredibly transformative! Emerson in general is a very ethical and collaborative company which I have liked. You assume good intentions from everyone here. We also do great work providing essential products that help power the world. It's a great place to work!

Cons

A relatively old-school business culture and processes, but the current CEO Lal has been actively pushing to modernize things. You'll need initiative to be successful (potentially a con).

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.
