      Pros

      Emerson's longtime CEO is retiring today (February 5, 2021). This could mean a more progressive company culture going forward. Emerson's financial position is currently strong, and they have shifted their focus to automation technology.

      Cons

      Currently no option to work from home if you work in the corporate St. Louis office. (Yes, even in the pandemic) for employees without children - work from home arrangements require multiple levels of approval. They don't make it easy. Salaries are currently frozen with no communication about what will happen when they are unfrozen.

      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.
