      Corporate Overhaul needed - Anonymous employee Emerson Employee Review

      Pros

      Stable work environment, pay competitive in field. Benefits fair. Employee perks are nice including plenty of company "fun" days

      Cons

      No concept of work/life balance!! Management expects employees to average 60+ hours a week and for work trips to be gone for weeks at a time. Overworked, management terrible at budgeting hours required for a project. When project hours go over (and they always do) they just kick the can down the road. No accountability for employees, certain people are "untouchable" Culture is crap, people are nasty and cutthroat.

      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.
