Pros

Johnson Controls offers excellent exposure to marine HVAC, fire, and security systems, especially for engineers working in specialized departments like marine. The company maintains high standards in project execution, with a strong focus on safety and compliance. Opportunities to work on international shipping projects provide valuable experience in global project management. Supportive colleagues and a collaborative work environment, especially within the UAE office. Access to OEM-level training and resources, which is a big plus for technical skill development.

Cons

Career progression can be slow, especially in niche departments where roles are limited.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
