      Terrible management, no real career growth - Anonymous employee Emerson Employee Review

      Pros

      Big company with lots of different people from all over the world that you get to work with and learn from.

      Cons

      They do not promote based on "most qualified". A lot of managers and C-level do not care about their team, managing people or your success. The culture is nonexistent. Everyone is just out for themselves. If you talk to HR they just offer to move you to a different business unit. Do not work here if you are in marketing, PR, social media or any creative position. It is not valued.

      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.
