Pros

- Extensive Learning Curve: The role offers unlimited opportunities to gain hands-on experience with diverse Rockwell Automation (RA) technologies and solutions. - Collaborative Peer Culture: The team consists of highly skilled and supportive individuals who foster a helpful environment at the associate level.

Cons

- Strategic Ambiguity: There appears to be a lack of a clear long-term vision, contributing to an identity crisis as the company transitions from primarily a hardware provider to a hardware/software provider. - Management Behavior: Concerns exist regarding transparency and communication within mid-management, with some feeling that performance issues are attributed to individuals rather than systemic factors. - Career Trajectory Concerns: Due to factors such as a perceived loss of customer base in certain markets and challenging partnerships, the long-term career prospects within the company are seen as uncertain by some. - Internal Culture: There is a perception of an insecure internal culture where individuals are hesitant to share leads or information, which may hinder collaboration. - Decision-Making Impact: Concerns exist that management decisions sometimes lead to negative outcomes that disproportionately affect employees at lower levels.

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.
