Always trying to do more with less, employees suffer.

Pros

Compensation is reasonable. Local group is a wonderful bunch of talented engineers. Sales and product management team are a motivated and well led group that communicates well with engineering. Local HR is world class, compassionate and also no nonsense.

Cons

Corporate tends to ignore staffing recommendations of local group. We are regularly forced to do more with less. Current restructuring plan is poorly planned.

Expect to work hard, and be challenged...

Pros

There is always a challenge, and rarely a boring moment. The company has decent benefits and matching 401K. Most of the people are very good people, and really care about you, the customer, and the work you do.

Cons

It has become harder and harder for upward mobility. There used to be a time were you could be promoted because of your contribution and hard work, lately is more who you know.

Pros

Provides excellent training and development opportunities. Supports employees in stretch assignments. Strong values-based culture. Strong emphasis on ethics. "One Eaton" philosophy ensures common business practices and alignment across all our business units.

Cons

Conservative and slow in decision-making. We have an Inclusion and Diversity initiative, yet we preach the Eaton culture and try to "Eatonize" all our acquisitions - slightly oxymoronic.
