Pros

Great people, culture, work/life balance

Cons

Very slow moving to get people on-boarded, lack of goals and objectives for seriously talented employees. Workplace in many locations (MKE HQ especially) is incredibly poor for any company, especially a technology company: dark cubical on every floor, thousands of empty old manufacturing space, bathrooms from the 1940s. This company is and will struggle immensely retaining millennials who are craving innovation, modern technology, and location flexibility.

Rockwell Automation Response

Thank you for your feedback. I agree that Rockwell Automation has great people and a great culture. We have a long history of success that we are proud of and continue to build upon. The headquarters building is a unique piece of our history dating back to 1903. It has developed over time to house many labs, development areas, employee spaces, manufacturing and much more. We have invested each year and even were just recognized by the Milwaukee Business Journal as one of the “Coolest Offices in Milwaukee” based on the many features we offer employees in our headquarters campus. We do recognize that we have much of the Milwaukee Headquarters needs updating and renovating. It will always be a challenge for us to keep our 3 million + square foot campus upgraded as quickly as we like while balancing our investment in product development, technology, sales and marketing, and other business aspects. However, we do have ongoing plans for renovation across the campus. We are very interested in employee input regarding these developments. If you are interested in discussing it, I would welcome a conversation with you. Kind regards, Sandeep (snuchikat@ra.rockwell.com) VP, Workplace Services

Pros

Great environment with focus on culture building. Projects are laid out well so no hectic schedules. Great work-life balance. A lot of veterans who you can learn from.

Cons

Sometimes difficult due to teams that are outside of US so sometimes could be slow while waiting for other teams to report back.
