What I liked

I liked the people at Johnson Controls. I learned a lot of Lean principles from my co workers.

What I wish was different

The project was way too big to finish during the summer. Its more like a year long project.

Advice

I think everyone should get an internship experience before they graduate as it will help their full time job interviews. Keep applying until you get the position you want.

Pay was fair.

What I wish was different

There were many non-English speakers which made training and daily problem solving very difficult.

What I liked

It taught me a lot about working efficiently and also accurately. I know I was the youngest person there but I feel that I learned so much about billing, managing, communication, etc.

What I wish was different

Due to COVID, most of the internship was working at home so I wish that I got the full experience of being there but it was still great.

Advice

I would say that it is definitely challenging but to make sure to always be in communication with advisors, managers, team leads. Whenever I had a question I knew that that situation would appear again and I would have to ask questions.

Mechanical HVAC Engineer Intern Technical IV

May 2016 - October 2017 • Wichita, KS

What I liked

I liked the fact that I was able to get hands on experience and knowledge about applications of heat transfer, fluids and Design of HVAC that I had learned in the class room. I was constantly challenged by my employer to push the boundaries when it came to innovation and to speak up if I had an idea to bring to the table. I became part of the team at Johnson Controls and was treated with respect during my time there. I was never looked down on because I was an intern.

What I wish was different

I wish that they would train you a little more before throwing you on bigger projects by yourself. It was quite a learning curve though learning that you didn't just have to rely on yourself to get projects done though. The team was always helpful when they had time.

Advice

Get exposure! I can't say that or emphasize that enough. Exposure is the key to success. Own your projects and don't let someone else take credit for all the work. Ask to get in on meetings with higher level people and network. You may not land the job there, but when it comes time to search for a job, those relationships you form with your co-workers could help you land the job of your dreams due to their connections within most fields of Engineering.

What I liked

The environment is great. Everyone is inviting and there is a great mix of work that you get to be a part of. It is letting me learn about research and insights, trade shows, social media marketing, building the JCI website, and the B2B relationships we have to help us do all of our work. They are also very flexible about the work schedule.

What I wish was different

The amount of work lets you learn a lot, about a lot. It's a little bit overloading on some days though. The workload has its ups and downs.

Advice

Ask any question you think of and if you are working on project A, but you are interested in project B, just say so. They will let you in and you can learn more about your interests.
