Pros

A lot of good people still working there. A lot like the passangers on the doomed Titantic. Decent enough salary Low pressure job

Cons

Senior operations leadership (Sr VP, VP, Directors) is mostly GE or Delphi. Hard to get promoted when they constantly hire outside people from these 2 "Great Performing" organizations. Little to zero product or customer knowledge within the operations leadership, and this is reflected in the poor decision / performance of the manufacturing plants Most production has moved off shore to low cost manufacturing New Product Introduction has almost ground to a hallt because operations can't play nice with the engineering and business side of Rockwell Little to no incentive to excel Benefits getting cut almost every year

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.
