Pros

Very competitive wages and, because JCI is world-wide, the possibilities for career advancement, are endless.

Cons

Technology is not streamlined, to give employees a single customer interface, so you don't truly have a complete customer view/history, making it extremely difficult when interacting with other divisions.

Johnson Controls seems like a good company, but they don't plug in new hires.

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the people are nice, the facility is nice. The incumbent personnel who have been there for a while are like a tight-nit family, and have a clear direction and sense of responsibility and accountability.

Cons

They seem to skimp when it comes to travel arrangements, tools you need to do your job. Management is not receptive to ideas, and they hold on to old technologies and programming languages, not employing the latest proven technologies, methodologies, and best practices. They expect developers to work well over 40 hours a week to compensate for still using procedural programming, and they wonder why deadlines are missed and bugs are prevalent.
