Pluspunten

They will work with you when you need time off for kids, appointments, etc. They are very good about that.

Minpunten

It is the very worst example of American Corporate Culture. Nothing matters, except the bottom line. Do more with less. They want you to get it all done, but they don't give you the tools to execute. And - no matter what you do - it won't be enough. You could work 60 hours or more a week, and you still will have things you didn't complete or get to. And those will be the very things they will go on about. Don't bother giving your opinions. If they don't match the "Eaton" culture, then you're seen as "difficult" or "negative". Just say "yes" to everything you're asked to do - no matter how non-value-added or redundant. Otherwise, you're not a "team player". Leadership is a revolving door. And - leadership changes the priorities from quarter to quarter, so you're never really sure what's important anymore. Not to mention - leadership is often divided on what should be a priority. Operations versus Customer. Customer Service versus Supply Chain. Supply Chain versus the world. Promises are made, but rarely followed through. They are said just to keep you there. Without a degree, you are a non-person.

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.
