"Old Boys style company. Need to work a lot of years to get anywhere. Bad compensation structure. Supervisors maintain a huge buffer with employees."

"Overall, this was a good company to work for. Technology wise the company invested a lot in it's SAP roll-out and really made a strong effort to standardize processes. However, this company is still an 'engineering company' - so if you aren't an 'engineer' by training - you will most likely be looked down upon by some of your engineer coworkers."

"Pros: Fair compensation and benefits, good opportunities to network outside of a work setting through work sponsored groups; although you will always be extremely busy and likely will not be able to attend these events due to aggressive and false deadlines. Cons: Toxic culture within finance department, mainly due to office politics. Managers are not promoted by their efforts nor professional credentials, but more often by who they know. Aforementioned managers make no attempt to teach nor coach employees, yet expect perfection in unfamiliar areas. If you are not part of "the in crowd" you will never advance your career at the company. Working 60+ hours weekly is the expectation for financial analysts, and the culture of financial entities at the company rarely hands out compliments for good work. Individuals in which attempt to manage their work/life balance are not given any opportunities for career growth. Higher than normal turnover within finance compared to other companies in the industry has been recognized by senior leadership, but they claim not to know what is causing it, and therefore have no ideas regarding how to solve it. Company boasts about its efforts to promote a 'culture of inclusion' as well as being 'one of the world's most ethical companies for x strait years'. I have yet to see these within finance, as the atmosphere is extremely sneaky and back stabbing, and people will always cut you down in front of superiors in an attempt to make themselves "look good". Overall: If it's in finance, especially with the Customer Support and Maintenance business, I wouldn't recommend pursuing employment here. The department reorganized recently, which allowed extremely under qualified people to be prompted into managerial roles through their political affiliations. Many more qualified individuals were interested in being promoted to managers, but they were overlooked, and many have already left the company as a result."

"I have realized that the company have strong ethics and great culture of inclusion. There are several opportunities to grow within the company for certain career paths."

"I am working as a contractor to build a highly secure environment for software developers at Rockwell Automation."

"Low pay and high turnover rate"
