      A Woke, Siloed Giant Losing Sight of Efficiency and Synergy - Anonymous employee Emerson Employee Review

      Pros

      Emerson Electric has a strong legacy in industrial automation and electrical products, with a broad portfolio and a solid global presence. The company benefits from technically capable teams within individual business units, and its name still carries weight in many markets.

      Cons

      The company seems increasingly focused on performative “woke” initiatives that feel disconnected from customer needs and core operational goals. Internally, Emerson is highly siloed, with limited collaboration between business units. This isolation leads to inefficiencies, including the persistence of redundant products and overlapping technologies. Additionally, the lack of strategic alignment between brands diminishes Emerson’s ability to deliver a cohesive market impact.

      Pros

      Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

      Cons

      (1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
