      Company Going Through Painful Changes - Manager Emerson Employee Review

      Pros

      Good Planning Process. Dedicated People. Global Experience

      Cons

      Very short term focused despite the robust planning process. Will cut costs the minute there is a sign of weakness in business which means that long term projects tend to get delayed and cut. Not a collaborative culture as business units fight each other for bookings credits and can tend to overwhelm customers who may not expect several people focused on the same opportunity. In order to have a long term career at Emerson, you need to have some specialized knowledge or need to be part of the management team.

      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.
