Pros
Job security - If a steady paycheck is what you're after, look no further. Good intentioned management - I've met very few people that aren't good people down to the core. Good upward mobility - If you work hard, you'll get noticed and promoted. It's not hard to succeed here financially.
Cons
No need for innovation - They are a very mature company with products that will likely sell for decades with little to no change. This results in little need for forward thinking or innovation. Just keep the well oiled machine moving. Work is sparse at times - There have been 6 month periods where I had little to no work to do. Even when asking around, not much changed. It came to a point where I was hoping to get laid off because the boredom was too much. Bloated - There are way too many people working at Emerson. Most of them doing very very little. I would estimate a 3rd of the employees could be laid off with little to no efficiency hit. Boring - The company is just boring. The products they sell are boring. The culture is beyond boring. The overwhelming majority of people that work here are 40+ with little interest in socializing in or outside of work.
