Pros

A global conglomerate. Large organization has opportunities to move horizontally. Building Technologies is not very innovative or creative. However, Healthcare is. Laid back work environment Work/Life Balance Great place to go to retire

Cons

Extremely political organization with preference to seniority, friendships and favoritism. It is a "tech giant" that is stuck in the 70s. Political-clout and make sure you part of the right party in power. Promotions are based on who you know and not what you know. There is a lot of talk about innovation and the leaders who have been assigned to innovate have no technology background. It is a 'YES' culture. If you flatter your manager, leadership team and go with the flow you will survive. The organization lacks diversity among employee population and senior leadership. Not a single VP is a woman or a minority or from a technology background. If you are smart and young, this is not a place for you.

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
