Pros

Johnson Controls offers excellent exposure to marine HVAC, fire, and security systems, especially for engineers working in specialized departments like marine. The company maintains high standards in project execution, with a strong focus on safety and compliance. Opportunities to work on international shipping projects provide valuable experience in global project management. Supportive colleagues and a collaborative work environment, especially within the UAE office. Access to OEM-level training and resources, which is a big plus for technical skill development.

Cons

Career progression can be slow, especially in niche departments where roles are limited.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
