Pros

Eaton is a great company for employee development , promotional opportunities and they are very focused on employee welfare. Eaton has a good benefits package and compensation is fair. They have a good employee recognition program as well.

Cons

Some managers in key positions do not exhibit Eaton values and philosophies. They have a good program for employee development but do not always recognize how to best utilize the talent they have. They need to develop a compensation philosophy that includes a bonus program. Most of their competitors have a bonus program for all levels of employees. Eaton only has a bonus program for Sr Management.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to move around to various locations, and climb the management ladder if you're into that sort of thing. It's also a very stable company, so job security is great.

Cons

Being a huge company means they move at a snail's pace, and there's tons of bureaucracy an inefficiency when dealing with anyone outside of your local division. Also, advancing your career basically *requires* you to move around often and "politic" your way upward. More specifically to engineering, Eaton tries to run its engineering and development offices like it runs the manufacturing side of the business. So the technology tends to lag the real world by a pretty good margin, there are a lot of business processes that simply don't fit the development of non-assembly-line work, and creativity & innovation aren't valued nearly as much as meeting deadlines and keeping existing customers with minor one-off updates to decades-old technology.
