Great place to work

Engineering manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
