Pros

ohnson Controls offers a dynamic and supportive work environment where innovation and collaboration are truly valued. As a Senior Learning Experience Designer, I’ve had the opportunity to work on meaningful projects that directly impact employee development and performance. Leadership is approachable and encourages continuous improvement, and the company invests in professional growth through training, mentorship, and cross-functional opportunities. The culture promotes inclusion, and the emphasis on sustainability and smart building solutions makes me proud to be part of a forward-thinking organization.

Cons

Like any large company, navigating internal processes can sometimes be slow but, improvements are always underway. Communication across departments could be more streamlined. One of the more frustrating aspects is the annual RIFs, which often stem from shifting financial priorities or changes in strategic vision. While understandable from a business standpoint, it can leave employees feeling vulnerable and uncertain about long-term stability, even when performance is strong.

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.
