Pros

Before the merger, JCI was a great environment with room for innovation and creativity to help the business succeed with technology. Initial salaries offered (and hopefully still is) on pace in the IT industry. Benefits are adequate. Strong sales leadership in Global Products and HVAC - NA teams.

Cons

Since the merger, the focus is on keeping the lights on and innovation is shut down due to "budget". Now company that only tracks shareholder value. If the company doesn't value the people producing that value, there is absolutely no reason to work there The company is hemorrhaging IT talent due to the lack of support and flat culture. Systems will continue to become outdated as their is no investment in providing up to date tools. Flat salaries after hire. 3%/year doesn't even keep up with the cost of living.
