Rockwell Automation reviews

Command and control leadership, Mid to Executive Level Culture is toxic - draconian, bullying and hierarchical control No decision authority or employee empowerment NOT Service Optimized, still in the dark ages Very high turnover due to the compounding issues of complacency and ineffective leadership

Compensation is stuck somewhere in the stone ages. Not just the amounts, but the methods. Company bonus plan pays out once/year. Equity compensation is by exception below the Director level, certainly don't count on it. Target compensation levels are a step below the level of talent they want. I'm expecting a 3% raise in a year of 9% inflation. HR is happy to tout "We'll never be the highest paying company" (said to 500+ managers!!) Decision by committee everywhere. We spend more time building consensus than executing the change. Glaciers move faster than change at Rockwell. Getting better, but don't expect to have an idea and then implement in less than 12 months. New products can have 8-10 year roadmaps to achieve parity with existing (if they ever do). Integration of acquisitions and partnerships is an afterthought. They throw people at problems instead of fixing the systems and processes. Then when the market scales up, the problem has become multiples worse. Seriously underfunded critical areas for internal transformation. The level of technical debt and age of some systems is astounding. Why use a well-executed, purpose built solution when you can glue together four disparate legacy tools for more money?
