Pros

Its a large company and easy to hide poor performance of mid level managers

Cons

The senior management team at Emerson are small and selfish people. The spend exorbitant amounts of money on private jets and strangle the Manufacturing sites for capital funds. I have watched the inconsistences between what they say and what they do. It has been frustrating to watch the waste and the need to make improvements.

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.
