Pros

The company provides good pay and better than average benefits. With Johnson Controls Inc being a large company, they have the money to build the business. There are lots of opportunities to for training, both technical and professional. The company does provide for tuition reimbersment, if you choose to pursue that opportunity. The company works very hard at being at the forefront of technology, which allows an employee to learn new and exciting programs and ways of completing their work. The company is very committed to making sure the employees are safe and well taken care of. Overall, Johnson Controls Inc is a good company to work for.

Cons

Like any large company, it is very easy to get lost in the crowd. Recognition for your daily efforts are few and far between, but there have been some changes made to address that. If you don't do something that is totally outstanding, there is never any recognition. At our local office, the middle management isn't interested in recognizing your daily contributions, unless it benefits them directly. Communication from the corporate office is adequate, but the things going on at the local level are never communicated. There have been people hired/fired for weeks without any kind of notification to the other employees. I feel I am well compensated for the work that I do, but if there was another company that I knew had a more 'family' atmosphere, it wouldn't take much to convince me to leave Johnson Controls. And I have been with the company for over eleven years.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
