Pros

Strong company Potential to be good again If you aren’t not in IT, it’s pretty good

Cons

HR Unethical behavior of IT Executive Leadership - screaming at staff is a regular occurrence. Unethical hiring practices - if you aren’t a friend of the CIO don’t bother to apply to Eaton or look to be promoted. VP and Director jobs are created to bring friends in or bring in previous GE employees. No growth opportunities. The only way to get promoted or get a raise is to take on 2 or 3 different jobs at one time. They don’t backfill positions when employees leave, they assign the additional work to an existing employee and expect them to do two or three jobs for a few extra dollars. No communication or team work between groups. Everyone has their own agenda, and priorities and goals change daily.

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Cons

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
