Pros

It was a great place to work at. I really liked the company culture - meaning that they actually acted like they say they act - at least at that short time (10 months) I was there. My colleagues were great people to work with, Who I will miss dearly. Great leadership. I was given trust from the beginning, I felt as equal and my opinion was valued. Sure, this is department specific, but it still shows that Eaton is somewhat a good company. I left because I moved to software development - which I enjoy more. If I didn't have such aspirations to be a developer, this could be a great place to stay at for a longer time (given that they continuously increase the salary at least to counter the inflation).

Cons

Company had a 2 or 3 days work from office policy - it did not affect me as I could get away with it (frankly, all of my direct colleagues were in another country, mostly UK ), but this is definitely a con as in some teams you may need adhere to this policy. As others wrote - it has somewhat a "US first" mentality, which did not affect us negatively at the time.

Pros

Q & CI are supported overall from the top. Quality Management Systems and procedures are embedded in the company culture...across all of Eaton. No matter what site or city you go to, it is overall the same QMS. Roles and processes are standardized, people know where to find their standard work and understand the processes...although not always followed. Overall support of iERGs is good. A lot of people stay for their entire career, so longevity can be a pro, but a con as well. Company recognition is good overall.

Cons

Low pay. Good ol' boy network for promotions. Slow to promote. Calibration process for annual performance ratings is a bit questionable at times. Company culture drastically changed over the years as LDPs (Leadership Development Participants...a rotational program) started being promoted too quickly without the maturity, wisdom and experience needed for the roles. Lack of diversity at local sites, although corporate level roles were very diverse.
