Emerson Process Management Reviews

Pros

Good work/life balance. I was just a summer intern, but the employees as well as managers I worked with treated me with respect. Great location.

Cons

Tasks got a little repetitive, as I was just there for the summer.

Pros

*Competent people all around you - they hire competent people and it is a pleasure to work with people who seriously know what they're doing
*Strong Leadership with a well-developed road-map
*Industry leader selling high quality products
*Strong business ethics core
*Part of a large corporation (Emerson Electric in St. Louis), but at division-level still has a small-company feel

Cons

*Still working to become a high-tech workplace and paper-free
    --IT and HRIS systems are somewhat behind the times.
    --Company intranet not well laid out or maintained.
    --Many Human Resource-related transactions still paper-driven (ie: direct deposit, time sheets, insurance beneficiaries, etc.)
