Good company, was proud to be part of eaton's glorious days

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Before 2016 it was really great company, Good salary, good opportunity if only you are lucky, employee caring

Cons

1. Not excellent opportunity for technical growth...but excellent opportunity for management growth. 2. After 2016 they launched new center at Magarpatta Pune location, after this they started treating old employees like burden, just to get volunteer resignation..(as per SEZ Policy they were restrictions on moving employees to new centre ...hence management started showing real color....after 2016 August neither management was listening properly, on the name of innovation centre they opened new branch in Magarpatta....but this stretegy was just to fool people and only changing nameplate from engineering centre to innovation centre.

There is good and bad but be wary

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of good, smart, and talented people have come and gone, but some still remain. Can learn a lot if you are proactive.

Cons

You will be surprised to find that there are some fundamental and basic level processes that are lacking across all departments in terms of organization, coordination, and communication. Areas of responsibility are sometimes blurred and thus holding a certain party accountable is not specified well. Automation is also a concern with too many manual processes.

Pros

Laptop and foood coupons and nothing else. All the pros you are seeing in other reviews are mostly for eaton outside india

Cons

Laptop given so that you must work for 24 by 7. Food coupons given but you can't eat relaxing. High work pressure. Full of politics. You will hate IT JOBS working in this company
