Pros

JCI consistently strives to do the right thing for both clients and employees. While no organization is perfect, the company gets far more right than wrong. Recent leadership changes also feel encouraging and have brought a renewed sense of direction.

Cons

There are still too many cumbersome internal processes that slow employees down. Increasing autonomy and decision‑making authority for local markets would help improve efficiency and responsiveness.
