Horrible company - Anonymous employee Eaton Employee Review

- Caring environment - Independent and teamwork encouraged - Strong company culture and guiding values

- Communication can be difficult depending on team

Nice and intelligent coworkers, laid-back office environment with flexible hybrid work options.

3 years ago I would have easily rated Eaton 4/5, but in the last few years they have shown how cheap they truly are and that they care surprisingly little about retaining their most experienced employees. Despite the company's stock quadrupling in the time I've been here, they are not afraid to give out MULAs (mandatory unpaid leave) to make their numbers for a quarter. Career growth plans and opportunities are emphasized but they expect you to make a business pitch for your promotion in your current role, and it literally needs to be approved by every level up management up to VP of your division. Estimated 1 year decision time. They are currently in the process of spinning off a division, and have barred those employees from applying to jobs within the rest of the company, thus limiting promotion opportunities even further. The electrical sector may be booming because of AI data centers, but when that bubble bursts, expect to be laid off or treated like peasants fortunate to have a job at all.
