Pros

JCI is working very hard to grow in several markets.

Cons

Management appears to be in a reactive mode rather than proactive.

Pros

The benefits are decent, the work isn't too demanding, and the pay is not too shabby for the area. Management makes honest efforts to support employee morale and to recognize good performers. The work/life balance is not much of an issue.

Cons

The benefits aren't exceptionally great, the process around software development is stultifying, and the multiple layers of management are baffling. Perhaps this is normal for large companies, but I've never before had four direct managers. Coming from a startup (we were acquired by JCI), it has been disheartening to say the least to watch our productivity plummet in the face of the added process and management demands on our time.

Pros

Working at Johnson Controls was great. My past job experience was perfectly suited for what I was doing and I was given freedom to grow.

Cons

The priorities of management would shift constantly. One day you would be working on meeting a certain deadline, then the next day you were told to a different deadline.
