Level of stress is low. You can have a peacefull life working at Emerson. In some areas the expertise that made Emerson an international corporation can be seen

Cons

Slow moving, a lot of bureaucracy, medium pay. If you want a career than you should come to Emerson at the finish of your career and not at the begining Unfortunately, most of the time you don't see the standars that you would expect from a company like Emerson

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
