Pros

Johnson Controls has been more than just an employer, it’s been a source of strength and support during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Over the past 15 months, I’ve faced significant health issues, and the way JCI stood by me has been nothing short of extraordinary. From leadership to my immediate team, I felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. The culture here is not just about performance, it’s about people. There’s a deep commitment to employee well-being, and I’ve experienced that firsthand. Flexibility, empathy, and consistent check-ins made a real difference in my recovery and ability to stay engaged professionally.

Cons

New leadership often means revisiting goals and processes. While this can slow momentum in the short term, it usually leads to more aligned and effective execution down the road.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
