How do you feel about going to work at Rockwell Automation everyday?
Out of a 10 year career, 6-7 years was the best work decision I’ve made, the rest absolute hell because of drawing a straw and landing in a business unit with an incompetent, micromanaging, stuck in the 50’s management style manager who’s great at driving out our best talent - veterans and new blood alike

People who are good at politics and process, people who can go after opportunities when they see them and people who work autonomously and don’t expect help/hand outs to get up to speed - can be very cut throat in some departments

Very little - it’s a company always in flux and change, and while there’s a significant focus on your individual performance when a reduction in force happens, anything goes - poor performers go first but it comes down to numbers, in my 10 years have seen more than my fair share of really great engineers get the boot - could come down to whether a boss likes you in those situations
