Pros

Work-Life Balance: This is not a company that will make you work 60-hour weeks, at least for my position. You work during business hours, and only outside of that when something legitimately requires it. Good pay: I was paid a competitive wage for someone with my job at JCI. Plus annual bonuses, I was provided a living wage, and the ability to save and invest. Culture of Communication: You are able and encouraged to work across teams to accomplish goals. There is a vibrant social culture that makes it easy to find the people you need to talk to to get things done.

Cons

Poor Vision: JCI acquires a lot of startups, and the leaders fail to fully understand what they have bought or how to use it. Risk of getting siloed: Career growth can stagnate if you find yourself be to be one of the only employees capable of doing your job. They are not eager to cross-train. Culture of Blame: Failure is punished instead of learned from, so nobody takes responsibility for their failures, leading to an endless circle of finger-pointing. Sub-par Benefits: The health insurance leaves a lot to be desired. If you have a lot of medical needs, don't choose the high-deductible plan.

Pros

I can't think of one

Cons

Bad health benefits, 401K is matching, but if you left before the year is up, they do not honor your vesting, bad managers, hostile managers, ethical considerations in management. Penny pinchers.
