Office politics is a major deterrent in making progress. The control of promotion and training is too bureaucratic. - Technical Support Engineer Emerson Employee Review

Pros

People are fun to be with. If the company could only share its ideals to its employees, then it could boost its capacity to grow.

Cons

Salary is below the market range. HR has leakages on exit interviews. promotions are too stiff. Growth is basically on your own. Trainings are only provided to upper management with leadership track. Technical track exists only on certain business.

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.
