Pros

I have worked remotely for long before it was fashionable, I work with a bunch of great people that are dedicated to the company and JCI puts a huge value on the health, safety, and well-being of its employees. My compensation is fair and I enjoy the work I do. I plan to retire from here at the end of my career.

Cons

It's a large corporation and we have our share of Dilbert moments. The running joke is that JCI stands for Just Change It and it often feels organizational changes happen for the sake of change.

Pros

Solid economy, continuous improvement, diverse growth paths, medical insurance, simple but nice office spaces, good work-life balance.

Cons

No bonuses at the end of each FY, despite the increase in revenue. Management acts slowly. Not very competitive salaries, compared to similar companies.

Pros

Pro's depend on where you sit in the organization. Broadly, JCI is a focused, mission-driven organization leading sustainability and smart-building innovations worldwide. The technology is strong, very strong, we have a data-driven culture, and the work is meaningful. There are endless routes to professional development (you just need to put in the work), and you'll be exposed to teams and people of all walks of life from around the world. JCI's people are its greatest asset. There is a huge collection of really excellent people here. If you enjoy how that sounds, you'll enjoy working here.

Cons

The higher you climb, the more complex the organizational layers get. The closer you are to the customer, however, the less you'll see that complexity. Essentially, the Con's depend on where you sit in the organization. Broadly speaking, JCI sets high expectations that require resilience and adaptability. Your focus is occasionally taxed by news and moves from other levels of the org. You need to train yourself to focus on what matters most to you and not let what you can't control affect what you can control.
