      Emerson reviews

      "Corporate America" company, with below-average salaries and just OK benefits. Nothing too exciting about it. - Solutions Architect Director Emerson Employee Review

      Pros

      ++ Great colleagues with a "One-Team" mindset. Cut-throats personalities and mediocre performers are detected and weeded out fast, which is good for the overall culture. You will also never feel alone and always get the support of your team. + Good technology (even if somewhat aging). + Good work/balance with up to 3 days/week working from home. + OK Benefits, with a decent 401k match

      Cons

      -- No real innovation. Emerson tech improvement is based on acquiring smaller companies, which leads to a rather fragmented organization and a dysfunctional software ecosystem. -- Diversity could be better. They do have some ERG programs in place, and a "Chief People Officer" but in reality, there is not much done to promote and encourage diversity. - Number of years with the company is the first criteria to get promoted as manager or executive. You have to start young with Emerson, and get detected and placed in their internal Leadership program to get a chance to become an exec or a VP someday. If you join them at mid-career level, you will remain at the same position for years, no matter how well you perform. - Rigid management, with an "even keel" mindset.

      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.
