Pros

The industry is great. (Power drives the nation and the world. Eaton is at the forefront of power management and quality.) The people are dependable. The pay and benefits are highly competitive.

Cons

Eaton was founded by an accountant and that still drives most of the business policies. That can be infuriating at the end of the month when you have to ship everything, or how Q1 and Q4 activities are routinely shuddered despite million dollar surplus cash flow -- but Wall Street loves it.

Great office culture, but slow moving design cycle and excessive rigor due to new Eaton corporate wide processes.

Senior design engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The work hours are flexible and they allow tele-work. Good place to learn ANSI drafting rigor, PLM/PDM system rigor, phase gated design process. Chance to experience cradle to grave product process. Great co-workers everyone is very supportive of each other. Sense of team. Very mixed workforce of younger and more experienced engineers. Also the products you design are built onsite so that is very beneficial to an engineer who needs to learn the manufacturing processes and design for manufacture.

Cons

Recent roll-out of bureaucratic "one size fits all" processes aimed at risk reduction in the products have made the design process cumbersome. The extra rigor was not matched by an increase in headcount and therefore meeting the project schedules on time means the average engineer has to work 50-60 hours per week.
