Pros

Global market leader in industrial automation

Cons

Professional success seems contingent on personal relationship rather than merit! Team members witnessing consistent preferential treatment leading to disheartened and affected feature motivation. Skilled professionals potentially leaving the company due to frustration over perceived nepotism in promotions. Projects suffering due to the assignment of roles and the position based on connections rather than competence. Demotivation and discontent experienced by non-favored employees who witness preferential treatment! When promotions seem influenced more by similar backgrounds than by merit, trust in leader diminishes, hindering the open communication necessary for a vibrant workplace! Frustration and dissatisfaction caused by perceived unfairness can drive talented employees to seek opportunities elsewhere, leading to higher turnover rates and subsequent decline in overall employee engagement!

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
