Pros

Rockwell Automation is by far, the best in class with regards to the Industrial Automation Industry. With regards to how employees are treated overall, and the direction of the company, no other company measures as well across the board. Lots of choice with regards to career path.

Cons

Career opportunities are limited based on who you have as a corporate sponser within the senior management organization. Youth is preferred over experience for many opportunities, and management positions are used as training opportunities, which can negatively impact the level of core competencies within a business unit.

Pros

Solid compensation: Good benefits, mid-range bonuses (when available), pension & mid-range RRSP matching. Decent vacation but it doesn't increase until you're there 15 or 20 years. Smart people: Working with long-standing teams of software developers and the controller engineers is great. Sophisticated and complex challenges regularly. Implementing AI: They're being very considered about how they implement it & doing it at a measured (not slow and not slam-it-in) pace.

Cons

Process: It's highly, highly process-driven. The layers can feel burdensome. Bottom line: They're chasing it with work being moved from North America and Europe to Asia and South America. There's definitely an old boys club and lots of references generalizating and comparing generations. Environmental policy contradictions: They say they want to be environmentally friendly, but have imposed RTO & are only hiring within commuting range of offices.
