Pros

Leadership change in 2025 is driving high levels of transparency, consistency, and accountability across the organization. Standards are being re-established for success and the business system being introduced is a fantastic step. Immense growth opportunity in data centers. Challenging environment that breeds success for those who are open-minded against new approaches to win. Culture of discipline continues to be developed. Tons of growth opportunities and tremendous learning environment with extremely talented and high performing teams (in pockets)

Cons

Consistency has been missing. Direction has not been strategic and often focused on short-term results with deviations from long range plan. Functionalization creates dysfunction and a fake one team environment.

Great place to work

Pros

I have worked remotely for long before it was fashionable, I work with a bunch of great people that are dedicated to the company and JCI puts a huge value on the health, safety, and well-being of its employees. My compensation is fair and I enjoy the work I do. I plan to retire from here at the end of my career.

Cons

It's a large corporation and we have our share of Dilbert moments. The running joke is that JCI stands for Just Change It and it often feels organizational changes happen for the sake of change.
