Pros

As a conglomerate, Emerson offers employees many career opportunities in different Business Units / Functions / Geographic areas. Middle Management are very focus to deliver business results. Little to no office politics. Overall a great company to work for.

Cons

Below market rate comp's and ben's. Senior Management loss focus on where to take the company. Stock price struggle to go above $60 for many years so stock options do not worth much.

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.
