Smart people working at an immoral company - Product Engineer II Johnson Controls Employee Review

Corporate cuts headcount every year, so you will never feel a sense of security or stability. Promotions come at 5 years minimum. Raises are measly, usually 1-2% per year (so much less than inflation). You will lose money if you stay with the company over a long period of time. The work environment is highly political. Certain groups and individuals hold a lot of say in what happens are the company. Ties and alliances are important. It’s very toxic. The company does nothing for the employees. There is no welcome merchandise, no holiday party, no happy hours. The cafeteria was removed because it is “too expensive to justify”, despite the recent back-to-office mandate. The company does not care about its employees—only its profits. Most of the blue collar workers in the lab at JADEC are lazy and inefficient, and they produce low quality of work. This is a trait endemic to the people who live in the area that JCI chose to build JADEC. Don’t be fooled by what you see or what JCI says about themselves. You will be a small cog in a giant machine whose work benefits only the shareholders and senior leadership.
