Pros

Johnson Controls, Inc. offers generous salary for the position. They are very competitive in that regard. It is typical for managers to permit as much time off for illness as necessary. They tend not to count every day you are out, as long as the work gets done.

Cons

The biggest downside of working at Johnson Controls is the two weeks' vacation given. Coming in at a professional level, the firm rule is "two weeks". Period.

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.
