      Pros

      Supposed to be a diversified player in manufacturing. Strong background in hydraulics engineering backed up with expertise across the globe.

      Cons

      Eaton is like this mirage that disappears when you go close to it. Atleast that's how the Service Centre out here works. The manner in which pay cuts were implemented in 2008 left a lot to be desired. Most important, people were sacked on reasons the company deemed "ETHICAL". Employees lived under the constant fear of being fired, leading to drop in morale, motivation and eventually performance levels.

      Eaton is a good company, overall it is fear in how it treats employees and average on culture.

      Pros

      Knowledge of Industry, qualified colleagues, good innovation culture, good ethics. A lot of opportunities for self-advancement and self-education.

      Cons

      Segmentation and availability of knowledge. You have to rely on several informal networks and "tribal" knowledge to achieve objectives. A culture that is conservative, but that is not necessarily a Con...

      Eaton Corp., A great place to work

      Pros

      Eaton manages its business in a process-driven, systematic approach and is focused on continuous improvement in everything it does. Eaton measures employee satisfaction annually for ALL employees, and takes action to improve the outcome. Eaton salaries and benefits are competetive. The Eaton Business System ensures consistency of business processes across a wide range of groups, global regions, and divisions. Each employee is responsible for his/her own career path and development planning (with Leaders' input as needed). Communications with employees is open and honest. Eaton has a plan for growth and diversification and is successfully executing the plan.

      Cons

      The process to select employees for RIF, when necessary, seems ambiguous, except for performance issues. Strategy is so important to Eaton that implementation sometimes takes a back seat.
