Johnson Controls Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Johnson Controls full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Reputation of consistently delivering on customer expectations. Often hear from customers that JCI are great to deal with.

Cons – Australia business is very conservative and traditionally have taken very little risk in emerging markets, pefer instead to follow trends as opposed to being the market leaders they are well positioned to be. Do not leverage extensive global expertise very well. Geographical structure creates challenges to service large national and multinational customers.

Advice to Senior Management – Business revamp to better suit customer changing needs by adding value and providing solutions to their business challenges. Products focus and transactional mentality needs to change to reposition JCI in the marketplace as a service and solutions provider

Cons – Many, many dissatisfied customers
Bully culture
Oppressive reporting and internal selling required to get anything accomplished
