I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Johnson Controls (Philadelphia, PA) in Apr 2024
Interview
TL;DR Summary = Run far away from them. It was the most disorganized interview process I've ever been apart of. I'm embarrassed for this team and the process I participated in. How they are experts in safety, but don't know how to follow a basic process is comical. I was contacted by the "Senior" Recruiter to apply & interview with the local team and never spoke to the Recruiter. It was the first red flag of scheduling me to go on-site without speaking to anyone in recruitment, but proceeded because they are a reputable company (or so I thought).. After the on-site, I inquired on my status with the local team and the "Senior" Recruiter responded with, 'Who did you interview with? What day and what job?' I had to find out the the people's names and info because she did not know who I met with (she works there!)
The recruiter was completely unaware of what stage of the process I was (after 3 rounds). I was continually giving her information to update her. The last straw was the 3rd round when neither the local team or the Recruiter knew where I was in the process.
Today, I reviewed my application in their system and it still shows I'm interviewing yet the process is long over. Needless to say, it was the wrong fit amid such disorganization.
2 rounds of interview. First was an in-person with the hiring manager. Next was a virtual interview with hiring manager and Market General Manager. STAR and behavioral based questions. Overall, a smooth process
I applied online. I interviewed at Johnson Controls (Edison, NJ) in Jan 2026
Interview
First round with HR/Recruiter was so dry. There was zero excitement or inflection in their voice when speaking about the company or role and they did not come on camera.
Easy as i was asked a couple of questions. You have to just be yourself ya know. Great process. Be prepared to role play. I had a couple of calls and zoom interviews and that was it.
