Pros

Lovely people, get to work on different projects, good culture (but only pre-pandemic, massivley overworked in pandemic to pick up others work as they were on furlough with their feet up!). Overall, thoroughly enjoyed my time but by the end, simply got fed up of having no career growth opps, being overworked and the limited budgets to work with. I'd recommend joining Eaton if you're just looking to experience a big corporate for a couple of years but suggest then moving on.

Cons

Low budgets to work with, no career progression unless you're willing to relocate to another country, no diversity in leadership, limited opportunity to grow skillset, teams are super lean so people are massively overworked (personally carried the role of what should be 3+ people because I needed to keep things moving...). Maternity package basic and Eaton is only just discussing hybrid ways of working - just far too slow. In denial about current state of business and too busy chasing and watching what the competitor is doing. Wake up guys, you're losing good talent as you continue to budget cut and over-stretch people.

Pros

Good Pay, willing to invest in employees & training, values safety

Cons

Before you take a job with Eaton, we aware that the company frequently makes employees take a week (or 4) off without pay...and then reports record profits. Be sure to ask for 5-10% more to compensate for this. Some of the safety rules are well intentioned, but have so much interpretation, process, and regulation attached to them, that are not helpful and employees...and may times are circumvented as a result.

Pros

Excellent staff of coworkers who are very supportive, Decent Pay and Work/Life Balance.

Cons

The top management is all run by friends who leave no stone turned to mock people. Very biased that leads to lack of motivation in coworkers. Coworkers (including I) chose to keep mum due to retaliation as even the EA management is very well connected with upper brass. Toxic environment but pays our bills. Work from Home is a boon as we don't have to see their faces.
