Business Outlook

Pros

Overall a good company A lot of resources available to you Competent starting salary There are relocating bonuses

Cons

They market it as a development program but in practice the goal is to close gaps on positions/ roles that have not been able get filled . This can be very detrimental for you if you end up in a business that is already failing. Sink out swim attitude Even though they try to standardize every plant is like their own little company

Business Outlook

Pros

Eaton has been generally good to me. Good company for lateral moves, especially if you are willing to relocate. Work life balance has been good to me, but experience seems to vary on a team to team basis.

Cons

Company is changing a lot as it transitions from a traditional automotive company to playing in the electricifcation space. New test capabilities being invested heavily offshore, leaving concerns of long term stability.

Pros

Some nice co-workers and surroundings.

Cons

Strongly suggested to employees that they "gift" their vacation back to the company while senior managers did not. HR was only there to make sure the company did not get sued.
