Pros

Used be a collaborative and strong learning environment with great career outlook, but then all of the good HR employees left the company after several unwise leadership appointments.

Cons

Senior HR leader(s) don't understand how to manage people or provide coaching, but are very good at managing upward image. Focus on bringing in expat HR leaders who don't understand North America teams instead of promoting from within. Flattening of career path due to HR services implementation and reduced resources resulting in no upward mobility. Health benefits are ridiculously bad which the CHRO blames on a democratic government instead of taking accountability. Bad situation - you can certainly do better in this job market.

Pros

The Eaton India Engineering Center is financially strong. Has a lot of employees. Geographical location is at a good special economic zone.

Cons

Incompetent and professionally impotent management. Will support growth of only incapable people – since capable and courageous people cannot be controlled by a incompetent and professionally impotent management. Are keen on capable, talented, knowledgeable and initiative taking employees to leave the company. Management wants to make the Eaton India Engineering Center a swamp than a growing and flowering filed. So – only people who can do this are encouraged. Do I need to say more?

Pros

Pension is about it and you can call in sick as many days as you like, if you are that type of employee.

Cons

Have employees that take 20-50 day's off per year for being sick, or so they claim. Work with people that are not experienced or professional. Upper Management in Raleigh is old boy's network and don't understand sales. Some employees milk the system and take 3 hour lunches, are full of excuses, and their manager protects them. There are certain Manager's there who don't like conflict and have no backbone when it comes to addressing under-performing employees. Preach ethics, but employees sametime each other all kinds of thing's which are not ethical. They fire good employees who do their job for unfair reasons and keep those that don't even work.
