Pros

Eaton Global, Sandy Cutler is great CEO. His Foundation of Ethics principle and he always motivate employees and have good faith.

Cons

Very Bad Management, Eaton India Engineering Center does most of the Projects on PPT (Presentation). Too much of internal politics. Work culture has been changed extensively from last 2 years. Leadership team do not know the ground reality. Eaton lost great leaders like Arun Jaur, Mukhal Bhatia just because of internal politics of top leaders.
