Vantaggi

Emerson offers a wide range of experiences, responsibilities and growth opportunities for an employee straight out of College. I learned way more than I've heard of others learning at other companies.

Svantaggi

The problem is it's full of lifers ( middle managers who never leave) so promotion opportunity is lacking. For the few spots that do open up, they often fill them with Ivy league MBA's or internal "high potential" accelerated career path people. It's extremely demoralizing to be shot down for advancement even though you have leader support and excellent performance reviews.

Vantaggi

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Svantaggi

(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.
