Internal focus rather than customer focus. So big that the individual is an employee number. Must navigate the corporate politics.

It was okay

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary was decent and benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Eaton is only worried about their next quarterly earnings report or stock report. Upper management says one thing, and does another. They do not have a long term view on their investments in other business purchases. They are only worried about the short ten affects to their earnings statement, not the long view.
