Pros

I have worked remotely for long before it was fashionable, I work with a bunch of great people that are dedicated to the company and JCI puts a huge value on the health, safety, and well-being of its employees. My compensation is fair and I enjoy the work I do. I plan to retire from here at the end of my career.

Cons

It's a large corporation and we have our share of Dilbert moments. The running joke is that JCI stands for Just Change It and it often feels organizational changes happen for the sake of change.

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.
