      Experience was a good one. Coworkers were all great and extremely helpful when training was needed.

      Pros

      Compensation was just about at market average for the position and office culture was extremely laid back. Ok if you like that sort of thing, but difficult when you want to put your head down and work. The company in general expects innovation and new ideas on a regular basis which is great and sometimes hard to find at other companies of this size.

      Cons

      Medical benefits, small windows only for the offices and conf. rooms so the rest of the floor feels like a dungeon, no real team outings or team building opportunities (at least in our dept) on a regular basis. For the size and income of this company, felt like there should've been more based on prior company experience.

      Pros

      Compensation is market value for job, but you earn your money. You can make progress if you are liked by management.

      Cons

      Situational ethics on many issues and the company changes their policies to reflect what management is doing vs. following their policies already written in the business code of conduct. If management doesn't like you, they use the PIP system to terminate you.

      Rockwell ... a good place to work?

      Pros

      In general, the pay scales are good. The technology and diversity of what you do can keep you challenged and motivated. There are opportunities to travel or to re-locate in a wide variety of global locations. They are also fairly flexible with work schedule. Though not as cool as an apple or a google, Automation still has a pretty high coolness factor. We control almost everything from linear accelerators to automotive assembly and hog processing.

      Cons

      Upper management has a great tendency to steer off from the focused path of specific products or direction which can be frustrating. Too many managers driving product lines. They do not typically promote in group or team .. which means you need to change job functions and often locations for real promotions. If you want to manage your group .. you have to leave it and come back 3 years later. They put a huge emphasis on sales experience for higher management jobs where sales people tend to get overwhelmed by the technology.
