Really loved the work-life balance at Johnson controls. May be because of good team members including manager and onsite teams, had better work-life balance. If you are feeling headache, go for sick leave, back-pain then go for sick leave. No such internal politics, everyone is helping from team lead to product manager. The only thing is finish your work on time, and if you do it, then you can leave for home, offline or do anything. Flexible working hours.
