My stay was OK and I learned a lot, until I came to a point that there's no more way upwards. - Embedded Software Emerson Employee Review

Pros

Best company if you want to gain experience. They offer a program where you'll be a full time student for a year then after that you may be hired by the company

Cons

Not the best if you want to stay long(more than 5yrs), oftentimes outsiders are given more opportunity to handle higher positions.

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.
