Johnson Controls reviews

The higher you climb, the more complex the organizational layers get. The closer you are to the customer, however, the less you'll see that complexity. Essentially, the Con's depend on where you sit in the organization. Broadly speaking, JCI sets high expectations that require resilience and adaptability. Your focus is occasionally taxed by news and moves from other levels of the org. You need to train yourself to focus on what matters most to you and not let what you can't control affect what you can control.

Frequent strategy shifts, re-organizations, leadership changes & lay-offs that has led to very short-term results focus only (this quarter, maybe this year). Turnover is quite high at all levels of the organization, Investment in fundamental or scalable transformational work is very limited and ability to serve customers well is challenging with outdated software tools, processes & policies. Lots of initiatives or software upgrades start but never finish and get tossed out by the next leader that takes it over. Meaningful professional development & promotion in collaboration with your managers is almost non-existent since leaders change so quickly. The culture is 'figure it out yourself' for development, how to perform well in your role & how best to adapt to changes in the business strategy and direction.
