Pros

Not applicable for Johnson controls

Cons

1) Micromanagement 2) No engineering infrastructure/tools to work.Very old technologies with zero learning opportunities. 3) Management is completely disconnected from what needs to be done for supporting projects in fields. 4) They have no idea about what skillsets are required for particular job. They hire just to fill the vacancy. 5) No product/project related training will be given. But Yes , during interviews they will blatantly lie about this. 6) Arrogant people in senior positions. They provide 0 supports for projects. 7) The management never looks for permanent solution for a problem. They always want temporary solution. 8) People are working there for 10-15 years but still they have no idea about what features exist in projects and what not. 9) They will always have some reasons/excuse ready for not providing information to you. 10) If you suggest them to use latest tools for work,they will not be happy with you. 12)No one cares whether the job is done or not. Some of the departments will not work until and unless you hold their hands and make them do your work. 13) They will treat you like football, from here to there,there to here and this will go on. 14) Management is aware of all these things but still they take no steps to improve this. My suggestion is better not to join here. Wait for 10-15 more days and try for some other companies. I am giving 1 star because there is no option for 0 star.
