Pros

There is brand recognition but that is diminishing as we shift focus away from customers and employees to shareholders and margins.

Cons

George Oliver will cost this company to death just like he did to legacy Tyco. Merger is a disaster. IT cannot figure out how to make the already antiquated Tyco systems integrate. People spend entire days just trying to get systems to work instead of being in front of customers. Benefits have decreased. Cost of them increased. Senior “leadership”is more than willing to cause serious financial damage to employees to show false growth through unsustainable cost cuts. No support or communication from above, just “give us more”. They are so far disconnected from what goes on at the district level it is laughable.

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.
