Pros

Opportunity to work on different product lines and plenty of mobility provided there are openings in different fields. Emerson is a service based company so there tends to be stable unless the product lines struggle to be profitable.

Cons

Different product lines/branches are compartmentalized. Company will layoff well seasoned staff at the first sign of economic hardship to maintain positive quarterly stock price up in an effort to please shareholders.

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.
