Pros
The company still has good name recognition in the industry. There are still some remaining UOP employees that have the knowledge and skill set to keep the company successful and are generally good to work with.
Cons
Honeywell is the biggest con. Since taking over a world class company with loyal employees the have constantly decreased employee benefits and moral. They came in with the attitude that even though UOP had built this great reputation, knowledge base and footprint in the industry UOP had done it all wrong. Honeywell set out changing everything from top to bottom that made this a great company. Now UOP is a company that has been cannibalized by it's owner strictly concerned about short term profits and goals with little or no concern for the long term viability of UOP. The people made UOP what it was and no system can be put in place to replace the knowledge or loyalty that Honeywell is loosing in this company daily.
