      Classic mismanagement and intense micromanagement

      Pros

      Great product that keeps us all safe.

      Cons

      Post merger with Tyco, many internal problems with management. Poor management communication, decision making, a lot of attrition at both high and lower levels, management uses fear and intimidation to control productivity.

      Pros

      After 17 years can't think of a single thing. Wages below standard ...management just wants bodies in chairs. If your a crappy employee who deflects rather than take responsibility or full of drama you will do well

      Cons

      If your a hard working. Ethical employee that does a good job and shows up everyday...it won't matter. They don't want thinkers... they want robots and will pay for mistakes rather than train you properly

      Focused on Profits, Not Employees

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work/life balance on my team, nobody ever worked over 40 hours per week. Middle management was decent, humble, and effective at their jobs. Milwaukee offices are being renovated to allow for more collaboration and modern aesthetics. A decent amount of social events with opportunities to mingle. Cafeteria has decent food. Global company with an opportunity to collaborate on international projects. Parking is available nearby.

      Cons

      Since McKinsey was brought in to "transform" the company, everything has been focused on profits as opposed to things like employee happiness. There have been a ton of layoffs, upper management has even ordered layoffs in divisions whose financials and performance are exceeding expectations. Experienced employees have been let go for being "too expensive", including engineers with 35+ years at the company, in exchange for less experienced people who are willing to stay for $25K or more below market in terms of compensation just to get JCI on their resume. Major vendors are frequently not paid on time, with employees receiving collection calls from reps - some have even blacklisted JCI. Lost its bread and butter (government contracts) after relocating tax base to Ireland as part of Tyco merger, which hurt the company.
