Excellent place to work
Electrical Engineering Specialist (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 11 April 2019
Rockwell has flexible work hours, excellent management, benefits, safety programs and overall excellent working environment.
I was able to advance, because of my excellent work ethic, from Inventory Control clerk to Electrical Engineering Specialist.

Great culture
Senior Project Manager in Automation (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 1 February 2019
This is a great place to work.
The company respects its employees.
They have been very good with me.
The only issues is that the Oil and Gas market is not doing so good right now and therefore they had to let go 25% of their team.

Good place to work. Fosters growth. Just dont raise too many concerns to get noticed. Great work life balance. Not a great environment for knowledge sharing between peers
Great People, Great evironment, Poor planning and poorly run
Mechanical Assembler / Upender (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 15 October 2018
Rockwell was a great place to work in terms of environment and people. Everyone was friendly and the job was pretty layed back for the rate of pay as I have always done labour intensive work. There was often poor planning resulting in shortages of work. When management changed things took a turn for the worst things seemed to be getting worse in terms of planning but maybe that's because they were making so many changes. People have been on contract here for several years as they are unwilling to hire new employees claiming they cannot forsee the long-term.
Pros
nice people, non labour intensive, can build a career
Cons
not looking to hire full time employees, managment lacks knowledge of what really goes on, poor planning resulting in shortages of work
Large, well known company with good product

Pros
Large strong company with opportunity
Cons
Outdated management team

Painter (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 7 March 2018
My day started with meeting the head painter and get my painting duties for the shift. Then I would start painting according to the managers requirements. Then clean up work station at the end of my shift. The managers and co workers were amazing as we all assisted and supported one another. The hardest part of this position was the night shifts. However, I enjoyed how the day moved quickly and I could independently on the tasks outlined for my shift.
Pros
the shift of 4 10 hour days with 3 off
Cons
the night shifts

Powder Coat Paint Specialist (Current Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 27 August 2017
Benefits are excellent. Upper management is helpful and supportive. Co workers are decent. Work production is always good. the hardest part is the the relative motion with painting.

System Firmware Engineer (Current Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 25 August 2017
I loved working at Rockwell. I learned a lot from very experienced full time engineers. Management is also very organised. They use Agile development process which helps keep everyone in the team very focused. The managers never let the developers feel the heat coming from the higher ups. Overall a nice place to work
Pros
Good working environment, nice people
Cons
Nothing much to do in Cambridge, office is old and outdated lookswise
Awesome place to work the people where awesome. I left to move back to Newfoundland
Door assembly (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 4 August 2017
Very safe place to work. Everybody is there to help you out I enjoy every day coming to work. I learned so much there. Assembled doors for cabinets that were used on oil rigs. Attached hinges and lights to the doors. Read ED. Reading blueprints for doors ' location, and what door needed. Printed work orders from computer on AS400 technology. Trained new employees on how to build doors and use the computer 's operating system. Worked as a team member.
Pros
Awesome 👏
Cons
60 hours a week very busy
Non-Inclusive Culture & Negative Working Environment
Management-Sales Environment (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 9 May 2017
Rockwell Automation falsely advertises that they are an inclusive culture & have a positive working environment. Nothing is further from the truth. They do not share information with their staff and keep their employees in the dark, often lying to their faces. Rockwell only cares about incoming sales and the rest of the staff are treated like second class citizens. Rockwell's 'leadership' is terrible and the people they have in charge of Canada are incompetent and frankly, mean spirited. I would never advise anyone to work for this Company. Rockwell does very little to provide training or support for their staff, often leaving them alone to figure it out on their own. Rockwell does not reward or value innovation or forward thinking leadership and new ideas. From my experience, Rockwell leadership only wants you to speak when spoken to and to just keep it to yourself if you have a new idea. I do not recommend this Company to anyone who would like to work in a positive working environment.
Pros
Average pay
Cons
Unprofessional Leadership & Lack of Direction
Cooperative and productive
