      Pros

      Good benefits. The manager's I had didn't try to micromanage but they were so busy with JCI corp "stuff", they really didn't have time to micromanage.

      Cons

      Application Engineering (AE) is a dumping ground. Anything negative, it's AE's fault, problem or issue but we were not given the authority to fix it. We were expected to help sales people with minimum staffing. AE could double to group and still not have enough support for our customers, sales expected from us. It was a joke. Promote the AEs who give a damn. Who actually stay late to get a job done or are dedicated enough to spend 3,4,5,6+ year with the group. All AEs should get a bonus regardless of pay grade.

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
