Former Employee – worked at Johnson Controls

Pros – Name recognition
Green company
Good benefits package (if you are lucky to get one)

Cons – IT has too much politics affecting employee moral and productivity.
IT management lives in a different world than you - average employee. They usually have no clue about the technical stuff and form their opinions based on whoever they think they can trust with technical issues. Difficult to work with the management. No team attitude!
Blaming attitude in IT.

Advice to Senior Management – IT management needs to open up and listen to their team members. IT management needs to educate themselves on technical knowledge so that they can make better informed decisions. IT management needs to stay away from politics and help resolve conflicts between different teams that is causing grid lock. IT management needs to emphasize on team work attitude so that different teams do not block each other's access or hamper each other's productivity.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep it up! 125 years in the busines is great, and I look forward to growing with the company for years to come.
