Pros

None Zilch Nada Ddim Nowt Nothing Zero N/A There are no Pros. I have to use 20 words but i'm just going to finish by saying. THERE ARE NO REASONS TO WORK FOR EATON

Cons

Everything. Managers are spineless and are only out for themselves Pay is not what it says on this site, it is about 10k lower Corporate structure is favored against progression through the company Unrealistic expectations and complete lack of understanding of the job from management Managers who have it in their title but don't actually manage anything People placed in positions because they have higher friends as opposed to actually able to do the job Crap atmosphere within the office Sales driven engineering, as opposed to engineering driven sales Specials are more common than actual products

Pros

Big and strong company, apparently no financial problems. Good opportunities for engineers in R&D.

Cons

In my field (SW development), the company is very inexperienced. It's like working in a garage company, but with all the corporate administrative and management BS applied. The company doesn't however accept that it could do anything wrong, it worships its processes and rules and doesn't take care about its employees. Employees are just cogwheels in a machine. Pushing through even the simplest improvement takes extraordinarily long, involving people who have absolutely nothing to say about the subject yet having the power to turn the thing down just on a whim.
