Pros

I would say some coworkers were great, but they all quit!

Cons

Work life balance is non existent, for example the expectation is that you work while on vacation (this was verbally stated to numerous employees). Expectations from Leadership are un-achievable and morale is negative, all while in a highly pressurized environment. Especially at a time like this, Racism should not be brushed over. There were documents circulated that a Director of CM had replaced an employees picture with Don Cheadle’s face— talk about cultural appropriation— all while HR did nothing to address the issue. The tearing down and bullying of employees is unacceptable and it exists daily at JCI. Just beware. Look at the turnover on the Milwaukee Procurement team. Before you sign, ask why the person you’re replacing left— and don’t accept “environment wasn’t for them” as an answer. People are leaving because they are expected to start at 6-7am, all while maintaining a work life balance.

Pros

Had a lot of flexibility with management in choosing and outlining the projects I wanted to work on

Cons

A lot of the more interesting IT work was reserved for a few set of teams, felt insular in that regard
