Pros

Great company if you are in sales. Overall, the compensation is fair, the people are treated with respect, the management is usually open to discussions.

Cons

Rockwell is not an engineering company anymore. Engineers are no longer trusted with anything more than travel expenses. Even technical decisions are rarely done done by engineers. People are no longer responsible for making something happen, we have committees, boards, voting. Too many people are reviewing, to few work. To change something, you need to address 10 people, many of them do not have time for the review anyway. The other problem is that engineering is considered just an expense. Need better fiscal results? Trim engineering.

Pros

Very good engineering teams working with latest technologies on some really great products.

Cons

Too many people who have been there forever and have no idea what makes a company successful. They think RA is world-class, but compared to its peer companies, it needs worlds of improvement.

Pros

Knowledgeable coworkers that are generally easy to get along with. Very flexible options when it comes to balancing work and life. If you do your job well and don't make too many waves, things will take care of themselves.

Cons

The idiots seem to have been issued Teflon jackets, I think we keep them around so they can fill the mandatory 1% of poor performers when it comes time for performance reviews to protect the good workers.
