    Cooper Industries Anonymous:   (Past Employee - 2009)

    Cooper

    Pros

    A very flexible work schedule. An excellent group of people to work with. A good variety of projects and technologies.

    Cons

    Management seems unwilling to take risks. Some projects are not started until the last-minute resulting in very tight deadlines. Overly restrictive IT policies.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Be willing to take some risks in order to foster a culture of innovation within the company. Treat employees like adults when it comes to IT policies.
