      Extremely Volatile

      Pros

      They are a very large company so you know they're going to be around for a while (not going bankrupt and disappearing if a deal turns sour).

      Cons

      Johnson Controls is a very aggressive company. They set extremely aggressive goals for sales, profit margin and growth, regardless of market trends. When the goals are not met, they have layoffs (every fiscal year). This instability has led to a toxic environment where people are constantly trying to protect their own jobs and fight for their survival.

      Pros

      Well established company with long history of good employee relations, fair treatment. Treated with respect. Good pay, good opportunities.

      Cons

      The last two years the company seems to have lost its way; they are intentionally breaking up and selling off divisions and losing thousands of very experienced workers. It does not feel like a safe place to be anymore.

      You could do worse - but you could also do better

      Pros

      Generally professional environment. Generally competitive pay - good benefits. Work/life balance depends on your manager - sometimes good - sometimes not - though they are usually understanding about personal emergencies

      Cons

      Disappointing raises. Benefits were cut several times in my 10 years there. There were several layoffs in that time too. Very bureaucratic so that relatively simple projects drag on for months or years. Middle and upper management are often clueless - they prefer to view people as autonomous positions rather that people who bring skills and creativity to the company. Some companies have a commitment to their employees in their mission statements - not JCI. Their funding of multi-year projects is confused. There were two that began with great fanfare and large budgets only to be curtailed after a year or two when new budget constraints were announced - resulting in 9 figure sums being squandered in each case. The CEO office is becoming a soap opera. And I'm wondering if the decision to split automotive off from the rest of the company was based less on an unwillingness to invest in it or rather not having experience with it and not knowing how to run it.
