Pros

Good people working in a professional environment. The pay is competitive and the work is challenging. It can be a good place to work. The benefits are average but there is a bonus plan.

Cons

IT management is dog-eat-dog and people are thrown under the bus all the time. There is an emphasis on outsourcing IT jobs so long term job prospects do not look good. They strive to be the 'most average place to work', and there is an unwritten feeling that IT at the company cannot compete with the industry so it should be outsourced.

Big Company Emulates Big Government

Pros

Good company to have listed on your resume, because they're a 'name'. Various opportunities to get experience.

Cons

Working for Rockwell is internally often referred to as like working for the Government. It seems to take an act of Congress (Rockwell Executives) to get anything done. Executives are out of touch with the people who actually do the work for the company and that divide continues to grow each year. If you're an Executive, you mean something to the company, if you're not, you're just a number and treated as such. Also - Cost of benefits are high for regular employees, but not for Executives.
