      Meh! - Anonymous employee Emerson Employee Review

      Pros

      It's a pretty relaxed environment providing a good work life balance with industry leading products.

      Cons

      Relaxed environment in turn creates complacency. Interesting projects are given to the ivy league MBA's. Merit is not performance based. Compensation package is decades behind, and not competitive with the local area. Employee surveys in the past have indicated poor compensation, and nothing has been done. Basically ignored. Not unusual for employees to leave and see up to 50% salary increases. 30%-40% is common. Executives get preferred stock options, profit sharing, bonuses, and personal vehicle compensation. If you are not an engineer I would second guess employment here. It's not what you know, but who you know environment.

      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.
