Pros

Leadership is too overwhelmed for micro-management which provides an autonomous work environment. JCI is great for self starters who thrive on overcoming challenges and strive to make a difference. JCI is an amazing training ground for conflict management. If you enjoy working through problems and bringing people and teams together, then JCI needs you! There are great, hard working people at JCI with lots of integrity who are willing to ‘go the extra mile’ and do what it takes to achieve great outcomes. JCI is a fast paced environment with more then enough work to go around, boredom is never an issue.

Cons

It has become very well understood in that the focus of the organization is financial. This has caused leaders to set unrealistic expectations and many employees to put in long hours to achieve work which is further causing burn out and low morale.

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.
