Pluspunten

Global, promoted furthering education and certifications.

Minpunten

Eaton has basically dwindled down the US salaried workforce to the point where it can simply just fill orders and no more. Day-to-day survival is all that matters, yet the expectations of a world class organization remain. Absolutely no chance of ever accomplishing your goals or getting a raise. Basically the definition of insanity for me. I joined Eaton in 2002, and today it has 1/3 the salaried workforce and double the sales! Of course, management never saw this same reduction--there are more far more cheifs than indians than when I started. Heck, I had 7 different people who thought I worked for them! I mean, by the time I left it litteraly felt like the opening scene from "Office Space."

Pluspunten

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Minpunten

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
