Q&A With Rockwell Automation Employees

Distant, Rockwell has horrible silos between groups and even within groups

Most are great, people in general are good but management can be bad, ask a manager what their GLINT score was and that will tell you higher better

Great people to work with abound at Rockwell Automation.

Very few since new CEO has reduced over time, older employees have it made with pension and others

A paycheck, bad insurance, it’s generally warm inside in the winter

You can’t really unless an office worker or manager which they do often

Depends on manager and position but pretty liberal.

In my experience it varies based on the specific manager.

Cut throat, very competitive and siloed, videos and PR are top notch to keep up appearances until you get in

Depends where you work, Milwaukee is nice and so are Cleveland facilities, Mequon is horrible and so is Chelmsford Mexican locations can be dangerous

Very professional and also laid back, we get the job done thinking about the end result

Nothing really new, just always redesigning old stuff and calling it something else very disappointing as an electrical engineer

Robots and drones

Yes both and if neither pass you’re done and sign agreement not to apply again

yes

All answers are recorded and verified at source afterward

Nights and weekends, new engineers get worst shift

Little, very siloed, you need to learn on your own quickly to succeed

They helped me get out of engineering and into marketing and now I’m happy

be a minority

Be under 25, have little engineering experience and have no family so you can move/be moved globally where needed - the LDP program is prime for those folks. Rockwell is an OLD company desperate to modernize their work force and making a lot of mistakes in the process because it’s led by “older parents” who don’t get younger workers - so they give them the world, they leave anyway and Mom and dad are left scratching their heads

Actually old fashioned but leadership doesn’t recognize that, I’m 28, came from a very modernized company to work closer to home and every plant including headquarters I’ve been to seems like it just opened in 1956. Some cubicles even have CRT monitors for God’s sake!

Great, we are all one team in the end, customers are treated respectfully and so are co workers, professionalism and individualism is alive and well

Can be VERY cliquey, you either fit in quickly and jive or your an outcast looking for something else - a lot is based on your talent and experience so can be a rough first year for most new devs

Existing developers are very supportive and collaborative towards new developers joining our team.

Out of 60+ engineers we have thee females who are all managers - placing women in leadership is a priority, helping and developing working female engineers almost non existent and mostly male leadership believes that’s ok - meanwhile in HR or marketing you’ll be lucky to see a single male representative especially in HR

There is no HR just a central mostly automated system

Almost only way to ever get hired now

Questions that will be verified to see if you’re telling truth about experience

Name the next four positions within Rockwell you see yourself in - I only knew two and they didn’t hire me because of that

Formal business anything less is disrespectful and unprofessional no matter the company

Very stressful, expect to be grilled and called out if you’re not honest

I’m on 10-20 interview panels per month

Don’t lie it’ll come up in the extensive background checks if when you do

3-4 hours if they’re going to hire you, any shorter forget it

Worried, most of the PR going on about major initiatives, PTC or Connected Enterprise is vapor ware, no real EV or battery tech, lies

Very job you get when you start is what you’ll have unless you quit or move to another discipline

Could be 8 months or more with all the verification of your resume, drug and background checks

Could take up to 8 months, background checks, drug checks and references all get checked,
