Promised a mentor, hardly any proper teaching done - in fact senior engineers openly admit that the graduates are there simply for their use and disposal. Arrogant and rude (Which is quite funny because all they know is the internal JCI software and seem to be quite clueless on any other engineering concepts)
No Career progression, or at the least very slow. They try keep you in a graduate role for longer than anywhere else in order to pay you less. This would be fine if you were constantly learning but most of the time they make you sit there and do the boring scrub work - sometimes even just photocopying. This is just obviously a management tactic for cheap labour.
They even have weekend "volunteer" opportunities where they try get the company name out but instead of doing it during work hours like everywhere else, they pressure the employees into doing it on the weekend. They then donate $1000 to try justify that it was Johnson Controls that did the charity work - All just to find the cheapest way to get their name out.
If any graduates are looking to join this company THINK TWICE, IT IS NOT WORTH IT AND THERE IS BETTER OUT THERE. They will literally cut corners on everything they can and you will be the one to pay. It is not a happy place.
One more thing. They expect you to use your own personal car for transport, as a graduate you do not get a mobile phone or car allowence (other engineers do so no one would complain about this), but they stil expect you to use it, and connect to your own data if you need it on site. Anything that is reimburseable is hush hush and if you dont seek it out yourself none of the senior guys or management will tell you what you are entitiled to.
Absolutely disgusting.
