Pros

Lots of opportunity to define your path and grow professionally in areas of interest

Cons

Extreme lack of clarity around roles and responsibility. Excessive cost cutting to stay competitive leaves team members wearing 5 hats. Very few real professionals and organization of known commodities and lack of promotions and raises. Top performers leaving and average or subpar talent becoming the standard.

Pros

Work-life balance is best advantage about working in JCI

Cons

For a global company, the systems in place are inadequate, leading to significant disorganization. Internally, some have even referred to the situation as 'Johnson Dis-Controls.' Within the organization, there appear to be two distinct groups: those actively working toward solutions and those contributing to the challenges. Additionally, the hiring process lacks a robust selection framework to ensure candidates meet the expectations and requirements of their roles.
