Pros

Career growth was a huge pro prior to the recent acquisition. Opportunities available for those that wish to pursue them.

Cons

Work life balance is non-existent and high performers are extremely overloaded. Being acquired has added work and reduced advancement opportunities.

Missed opportunity to build an innovation center

Pros

Growing corporation with fairly well working internal processes, possibility to work on interesting projects.

Cons

Unfortunately interesting projects are not done in Prague. While the Prague office (Eaton European Innovation Center) is being presented as an R&D center developing cutting edge technologies, it's in fact an internal offshoring center leveraging cheaper labor force in central Europe. Engineers in Prague only work on short, well defined tasks to support their respective business units, no real innovation is being done here.
