Pros

Honestly, since Rockwell came and wiped out Plex's culture, there is no true "pros."

Cons

Rockwell decided to purchase a bunch of companies but it was more so other companies couldn't acquire them. Due to the sheer amount of companies they bought in such a short amount of time, they had no true plan on how to grow them. Due to this, they are burning all of them to the ground and pretending everything is fine. They got rid of the culture of each one of them, turned them into an "old school sales" mentality, and sliced everyone's budgets and expected them to deal with it. Now they are going through laying off ~900 employees, some of which have been with the company for 15+ years.

Pros

Solid compensation: Good benefits, mid-range bonuses (when available), pension & mid-range RRSP matching. Decent vacation but it doesn't increase until you're there 15 or 20 years. Smart people: Working with long-standing teams of software developers and the controller engineers is great. Sophisticated and complex challenges regularly. Implementing AI: They're being very considered about how they implement it & doing it at a measured (not slow and not slam-it-in) pace.

Cons

Process: It's highly, highly process-driven. The layers can feel burdensome. Bottom line: They're chasing it with work being moved from North America and Europe to Asia and South America. There's definitely an old boys club and lots of references generalizating and comparing generations. Environmental policy contradictions: They say they want to be environmentally friendly, but have imposed RTO & are only hiring within commuting range of offices.
