Learning opportunities overshadowed by ineffective HR and upper management

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of rollouts so learning on-the-job. Ability to move to different departments. Good line managers largely.

Cons

The HR department are absolutely useless. They will not reply to a single email unless mgmt are cc'd, and even then, don't expect a sensible answer. Upper management are brutal. They will fire you in a heartbeat if it's the difference between hitting their bonus or not. You'll be hugely understaffed so you'll learn to work independently.

Johnson Controls Response

Thank you for your candid feedback as a Network Operations Engineer. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Johnson Controls has been less than ideal. We will share your feedback with the appropriate individuals who can use it to address your concerns and continually improve our workplace.
