Pros

Good focus on design process to reduce effect of errors. Maintains control of cost and investment for projects. Profitability is a prime focus, enabling long term survival.

Cons

Some of the soul has been costed out of the company. i spent 2 X 4 year terms there, separated by about 15 years. The first time the company was growing and I experienced an "all hands on deck" approach to development and production. By the second time, starting in 2011, the cost accountants had taken most of the fun out of the work. I didn't heed the warnings about re-organization, and it did affect me.

Pros

Great technical training, good salary and good people working there.

Cons

JCI will jump into a market and hire people to support a plan, if the plan fails, they quickly jump out. Not a stable environment.

Pros

Large company with a strong foundation, good benefits, excellent ethics policies (although not always internally applied), strong support for additional education.

Cons

Very political environment, upward mobility highly dependent on a good old boy network or friendships verses abilities or commitment. Excessively high workloads and hours with no additional benefits. Many potential improvements poorly planned or based on a managers personal whim.
