Pros

My experience with Johnson Controls has been very positive. My coworkers are fantastic and my manager is a boss. I don't know if it is like this everywhere, but again, my experience has been positive. Able to work remotely whenever I want as long as I'm being productive.

Cons

Sometimes management can be restrictive with spending allowances in an effort to improve shareholder value.

Worst job I've ever had

Pros

Made a few good friends. For the most part, there were good people in the office.

Cons

Underpaid. Extremely overworked. You'd have to watch your back. People would be friendly to your face, but talk about you behind your back which created a hostile work environment. The Tulsa Fire Domain office was full of good ol' boys that barely knew how to turn on a computer, let alone actually get work done. The managers are incompetent and unprofessional. The company itself was also extremely unorganized. You couldn't pay me to come back to this company.

Pros

The pay is competitive coming in, and recruiters are professional and courteous. There's a lot of good knowledge to learn and pick up from the senior members. Due to being lean (see Cons) you can get a very large exposure to the company and different engineering areas. The New Freedom, PA building is new and beautiful, and the labs once they're up will be as well.

Cons

Once you're in it's hard to get promotions, there's a very flat org structure. The raises are minimal (if not delayed). The company is super lean. There is limited lab space and lab labor, and the various product groups will fight/argue over them. You will work a lot, but you'll also want to put in the time. They have trouble keeping engineers (and other technical staff) due to a myriad of personal/management/growth opportunity issues.
