Pros

Great opportunities to move around within the organization. Very dynamic organization, good systems in all aspects of the business--engineering change management, manufacturing processes and controls thereof, and human resources.

Cons

The shareholder is king--if the year looks unproductive, there will likely be RIFs. Also, it is possible that if you're really good at something, you'll end up stuck doing that over and over.

Pros

If you are an non-resident alien, the Johnson Controls will pay for your H-1 sponsorship. Also, the working environment is very flexible.

Cons

Not many but few of the cons are while transiting to the full time I have heard that no bonus salary is offered, along with the average salary rate offered by the company. But overall, for a fresh graduate Johnson Controls proves to be a good start.

Pros

Excellent benefits and that's it!

Cons

Absolutely no ability to advance into management without compromising your integrity. It's not what you know, it's who you know. Expect no help from HR
