Pros

Good tech day event Salary on time

Cons

Johnson Controls higher management is not from IT background and I strongly believe they are not able to execute the projects very well. There is so much politics, if you are in good books and doing what management says and then you will get paid well. Its a difficuilt to survive for someone who comes from IT service industry, they are way off the processes. Onsite is close to none, they give perdiums even if you go long term onsite which is only for short term business visit. Higher management cuts team estimates in half so you have to extend weekdays and weekends to cover up and then you end up delivering bad quality product.
