Pros

Profitable company. It has been generally stable. There are many very good, dedicated, loyal employees that have given decades of service to Emerson.

Cons

Pay is on the low end of most pay scales. No bonuses unless you are above Director level. They are in process of moving almost all of their IT organization to India, so there are many great American employees that are being cast out like old trash.

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.
