Pros

Honeywell has a good brand name. The perks and benefits are excellent for senior employees. Salary is generally equal to or higher than industry standards. Honeywell is very established. Job security for those working in India is very high (Mostly because Indians work for cheaper). There is a lot of flexibility in timings. Sometimes employees are allowed to work from home. But this depends entirely on the nature of your immediate boss. There is plenty of recognition and awards for outstanding work. Overall, it is a great company to work in, for people with 7+ yrs of experience.

Cons

Not at all a good place for freshers. Fresh engineering graduates are always given really small jobs, that nobody else would want to do. These jobs usually dont require engineering skills. And there is no scope for improvement or growth for employees joining in as freshers. The oldies are usually stuck in really good high posts, so there is not much scope for the youngsters. Too much money is spent on the senior employees who do not deliver much and not many oppurtunitites for a fresher in the company. The kind of work you do, does not align with your interests. It is just pure luck! There is a lack of life in office, due to lack of energetic and young people. What else can you expect when there are so many oldies in the campany... Work environment SUCKS!!

Pros

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Cons

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
