Pros

Over the last decade a very good place to work with a great deal of opportunity,

Cons

The Tyco merger has changed things dramatically. It was not so much a merger as a take over by Tyco. Really bad morale and leadership does not seem to care. It will be interesting to see where the company in five years but now would be a good time to avoid working there if you can.

Pros

Salary + bonus are good for the Midwest region.

Cons

Tyco has taken over the leadership of Johnson Controls (post-merger). The Tyco CIO's strategy is based upon a decentralized, keep-the-lights-on minimum investment It approach with over 100 ERP legacy systems and thousands of other applications.

Pros

I had autonomy and was allowed to do my job.

Cons

When the decision was made to spin off it's automotive business, everything about JCI changed. And it's been constant change ever since. Now with the merger with Tyco, org changes are being kept under wraps causing constant anxiety for everyone.
