"I enjoy the creative process, especially when working as part of a team. I find that some of the best work isn't designed; it's re-designed, after feedback, and sometimes a bit of a pain. When people come together on a project in a positive way, I find I can make an effective contribution. That is most satisfying."

Designer at Micron Technology
in Boise, ID

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Micron is still trying to figure things out."

What do you like about working at Micron Technology?

"For the first 5 years, it was great. I was learning a lot, and had the opportunities to cross train into other fields. Then management changes pigeon holed me, limited my opportunities, and even kept me from transferring to other groups."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Due to the volatility of the semiconductor industry, I would interview for this company as a temporary job. It is a good place to gain some experience, and when the market conditions are good, the educational benefits are great, if your shift allows you time to go back to school, and maintain a home life."

What don't you like about working at Micron Technology?

"How people were chosen for promotions, and how people were chosen to be hired."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop the micro-management, and the good ol' boy mentality."

Designer at Johnson Controls
in York, PA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"JCI - not the long term employer."

What do you like about working at Johnson Controls?

"I liked the team of people that I worked with and the product that I helped design. But the entire group no longer works there because it was more economical to dissolve our group and move our product to another group that had no product knowledge and could not possibly make money for the company in an immediate time frame."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Look hard elsewhere, unless you don't mind being temporary and disposable."

What don't you like about working at Johnson Controls?

"The most important thing to JCI has always been the bottom line. They do not put any value in the employees that help to make the products that they sell. They never try to use other methods to make money or save money other than randomly selecting people to be let go regardless of seniority or work ethic. Often they will let people go that would be considered an asset and allow people to work that waste company time and money."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Instead of laying people off all the time, maybe you can try the following methods: pay freezes, offering voluntary lay offs for those who can afford it, cutting back on travel and other expenses, forcing people to retire who are qualified and capable."
