Johnson Controls reviews

As long as employees are performing, they are allowed to continuing to do things the way they always have. Training on new products and tools is required, but often difficult to foster once the training session is over, unless an employee is self motivated. Employees are expected to execute installation projects on schedule, and much of the time an employee can succeed in different ways, many prefer the "work smarter" ethos, others still, prefer the "work harder" way. The unfortunate fact is that the latter are often easier to come by, and with a company continually striving to grow and dominate, people reluctant to change would be better off somewhere else. Employees are kept happy, often to complacency. Future employees should consider that the company is a living thing, and is moving quickly, be expecting change. A motto often heard is: If you don't like something, wait, it will change.

Leadership is hard to get to and often operating in their own cocoons. A lot of politics make it difficult to achieve anything. The Corporate organization is a Jekyll and Hyde organization that maintains an almost impossible balance between supporting the business and controlling/leading the business. Trying to look past the 1 year deadline to achieve some structural changes is hardly possible as a lot is focused on the NOW and the fiscal year's targets. The company wants to fly in Europe without growing wings first. As a US company the Europe "landscape" is simplified and a pointing finger is often targeted at Europe saying:"It works for us, so why can't you make it work?".
