Pros
Great people throughout the organization. The Power Solutions division, in particular, has a close knit all-for-one/one-or-all vibe. We are a large organization, with a ton of opportunities for people who can drive their own career growth.
Cons
The layoffs have begun in earnest. It’s obvious that our former CEO sold out to the highest bidder, shoved wads of money in his pockets, and is now living the highlife while JCI is dismantled by our new CEO. It’s sad to see strong performing colleagues’ jobs being eliminated without rationale (other than cost cutting). Benefits reductions (401K match reductions, delays in merit increases, health care offerings diminished) and multiple layers of layoffs are all strategies that Tyco (and George Oliver) have deployed with other companies that they have taken over.
