Pros

The best thing about this company is its product and technology. You will get huge opportunity to know lot of things in your field which are industry leading. Work life balance is very good.

Cons

I have worked at Emerson Network Power India. Here the local management is of very old mentality and has no ability to understand the changes in IT & related industries. They does not know how to promote new technologies in local market. Only focuses its old inherited (from Liebert) brand and products. As a result they cannot motivate new employees as well.

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.
