Pros

Good work/life balance, OK health insurance I like what i do and the people I work with

Cons

Even if you deserve a promotion, you won't get it if you haven't been in your current position for a certain amount of time. SAP system *thumbs down* Fitness center on site, but it isn't free to employees Older conservative company, not quite ready to embrace the innovative atmosphere of young tech companies.

Pros

They give you a check for working and are good at setting up your desk the way you want it.

Cons

You know something is wrong before you even get to the first day on the job because they are a technology company using 20 year old technology to implement their GUI - MFC. Next the industry reputation is that Rockwell is not the home to top talent - well duh.... top talent does not want to develop in MFC. This might be a viscous cycle that all comes down to how they treat people. It's no secret that many people worked there for decades and Rockwell tried to swindle folks near retirement age out of employment benefits. It could come in many forms like giving the employee way too much work to do and an impossible deadline or the opposite - starving the employee giving them nothing to do at all hoping that they would quit in these circumstances. Typical corporate America here making short term decisions and never thinking about the long term effects. Sure they will question your loyalty when you interview there but if they can find a way to successfully be anti-American and replace you with foreigners they will do it in a second. Zero loyalty for the people who make them great.

Pros

A lot of freedom and they make you feel like you're wanted and needed.

Cons

Since you're imbedded with another company you don't have a lot of interaction with Rockwell.
