Working at Johnson Controls in Milwaukee, WI: 41 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Milwaukee, WI Area

"fun, cool environment with spontaneous company events."

"JCI is a major player in the building systems business and a good place to gain exposure to a wide variety of projects."

"I've worked at Johnson Controls for a few months, the experience has been great, everyone is very nice. The environment is excellent and the work is challenging and fulfills my expectations. Right now some of my personal needs get in my way to keep working at Johnson Controls."

"Johnson Controls is an innovative company with a diverse product portfolio. I enjoyed my time working as a Consultant."

"JCI was my last organization, with whom I worked. From my personal experience I can say, that the organization is not at all employee friendly, and you might loose your job any time whether you do your job properly or not."

"Not ready and prepared for COVID crisis"

"I worked at Johnson Controls since November 2018 until October 2019. I had to leave because I moved from Wisconsin to Texas at that time. My experience there was very positive and I learned to manage complex data, team communications and to create cohesive designs."

"Big company with great benefits with a sense of arrogance."

"What am I writing a review about?"

"I have worked for JCI for almost 10 years within product development. The company is going through changes and is suffering from short term thinking. It's benefits are ok and the pace of work is fairly relaxed until quarter end, then it it becomes a rush. The people are great, but management is out of touch and bonus driven."

"JCI has gone through enormous change in the last 5 years, with huge amounts of M&A as well as internal transformation. Most of the leadership and well over half of most groups (IT, finance, etc) have turned over, all through a passion to achieve new growth. It’s chaotic and stressful, but exciting."

"The worst company I have ever worked for. There are no systems for anything. Everything is done via email or spreadsheet. Technology is the best that was available in the 1980's. Management is more focused on profit than on making investments to improve the efficiency of the company. If you want to learn how a company should not be managed before you get a real job, this is the place for you. Reporting is the most critical function in the company. You are not getting results unless you have a good report and it has been thoroughly critiqued by several managers above you to let you know what you did wrong."

"I worked for Johnson Controls Inc. for 10+ years. I enjoyed working for them and all the people I work with. Johnson Controls is a great company."

"What used to be an exciting and challenging company to work for has turned into a micro-managed, top heavy, paper work driven corporate monster. Since the GWS division has been taken over, morale has plummeted, talent is fleeing and those left are spending their days trying to follow their departed colleagues. Several "initiatives" rolled out under the new dictatorship have been poorly scheduled, poorly fabricated and the field managers expected to implement them have not received the training required to make them work. It would be impossible to train them as the "teams" tasked with that training have not been properly trained themselves and have no clue what to do. The work load for the average low to mid-grade manager is insane. No less than 5 "initiatives" have been rolled out together and are in most cases contradictory of each other. Two top executives last year enjoyed $25M (that's 6 zeros folks) between them, while lesser managers received COLA cuts."

"I have great experience working with JCI."
