Pros

* Great global policy and work culture * Work ethics is given more importance so one can not misbehave or disrespect others, not even Managers. * Good pay * Good work life balance * Plenty of work opportunity if you are willing to do more.

Cons

The only negative is the kind of people in the Management. Most of the managers are unskilled and never did any great work but got the position because of the favourism from similar mindset managers. And now most of Management is full of such people. So think, how can unskilled people show that they are doing some good work? Simple, prepare some ppts for fake initiatives with big titles. If you are manager its even more easy. Ask your team to do a POC for you and fill technical content in ppt. No body cares about prject, team and company. If team does something good, manager takes the credit and for any mistake team is blamed. The few good and skilled managers are also leaving because of politics.

Pros

Pays well.. Everyone will be loaded 150%.. be it managers or individual contributors... So, your plate is always full. You can interpret it as more opportunities to learn and improve. Relevant training for employees on people manager path.

Cons

Nasty office politics in Eaton Pune's office. Your career depends on the feedbacks given by every one around you, and people use feedbacks as a tool to get things done the way they want. Even though Eaton relatively pays well, you will be expected to do work of almost 2 people and you may not even be recognized for your contribution. You will always feel the need to sell what you have done to highlight your achievement. Eaton is the right company for you if you are an extrovert and like to brag about whatever little you have done. They may give you good hike at the time of joining but may not give you hike next year - different rules for people joining in same months but in different years- one gets a hike another one does not. The system and processes are not mature and for everything you will have to follow up. I also feel that system and management are favorable to people from Pune/Maharashtra region.
