Pros

I have joined Eaton as campus hire and after 2year I can write some honest reviews about this company. 1. The learning opportunity is high: it does matter you are fresher or experience they will assign you into the project after completion of your training. 2. diverse product: Eaton business is diverse so you will have various opportunities to work with different projects, I was core s/w field still i had a chance to worked with hardware project. 3. Fair pay with good benefits. 4. Work environment and culture is good 5. Free lunch.

Cons

1. They believe in somewhat show-off: if you are staying up to 8-9 pm every day you are more eligible to get more hike compare to others who left office at 7 pm, does not matter who has done how much work. 2. politics is at a high level.

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Cons

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
