Pluspunten

JCI offers an international work experience. If you are good at politics and networking, you will have a very successful career here. You don't need to be competent in anything. If you are an American, you can even go outside the US and play the mighty master in one of the JCI colonies. Again, no competence necessary.

Minpunten

If you are not an American and also not good at playing the company politics, you have no chances of progressing in your career. In 5-10 years you will notice that you can't find a job outside JCI either, because your skills stayed in stone ages. IT management is utterly incompetent. They have to outsource almost all of the work. Way too many IT Directors costing the company a fortune, but bringing very little value, if any. They survive mainly because of cronism. Expectations from IT is so low anyway, that noone points out the problems any more.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
