Not for Experienced Professionals - Marketing Rockwell Automation Employee Review

Pros

Good work flexibility. No hard starting times in the morning or quitting times. You can choose what is appropriate for you. Periodic working from home is acceptable such as if you are having a repairman come over or to avoid a snowstorm. Maternity leave of up to 3 months with no "recommendations" to start working from home. Also, the company has Ethics as one of its main corporate values that is enforced and rewarded, even if it costs the company sales.

Cons

Old "boys" club, but not in the traditional sense. If you have joined the company as an experienced professional, rather than working there your entire career, you are a second class citizen and will not be helped to advance. On the other hand, if you started and an intern or, even better as an LDP, you will be coached and introduced to the right people. I've seen situations where jobs will be created (even by letting people go) so these golden children may advance. Of course these positions will never be posted. The chosen will just be moved into them.

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.
