Pros

there's a formal review process which tries to make review ratings and raises objective. it also gets you visibility if you're a quiet person.

Cons

Eaton used to be huge on ethics, not seeing that as much anymore Eaton hasn't invested in new technology for a very long time. This is resulting in lost platforms and plant closures. When they're through with that i'm sure they'll acquire more companies to slowly bleed dry
