Pros

Emerson has a hybrid work policy for the company (2 days in office; 3 days remote) which is by far the biggest benefit. The work is interesting and there's plenty of room to grow and develop within Emerson. Shifting positions within the company is common and is a good way to level up your experience.

Cons

The culture at Emerson is not great. Even though they have a hybrid work policy, there's an innate culture of working and being available 24/7. Very early morning meetings and late evening meetings are common and expected. There isn't a ton of genuine collaboration between departments and there is always a feeling of "needing to put out fires immediately".

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.
