Pros

I work with some really kind, sharp, and supportive people. There’s some incredible talent here. 401k match is solid. The work is meaningful to me. I appreciate the flexibility, travel and ability to work anywhere.

Cons

JCI is always pivoting and the change feels underbaked. The resulting inconsistency and chaos negatively impact morale, productivity and our bottom line. I wish the frequent transformation was focused on growth rather than cost- and talent-cutting. There are also some seriously toxic, condescending behaviors among senior leaders that go unchecked or ignored, and employees are afraid to speak up.

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.
