Pros

The work is challenging and for the most part, the people are really great. Good family work/life balance. Most managers allow flex-time schedules which is a huge benefit.

Cons

The pay for newer technicians (<10 years) is extremely below the market pay scales. There are no longer pension plans, 401K match is a pathetic .375% match up to 8% of you contributions for the first 6 years, and the benefits keep eroding every year. Quality of life is actually decreasing due to no raises and several unpaid furloughs. Factor that in with the terrible morale due to layoffs, unpaid furloughs, promotion freezes, outsource everything they possibly can (at the expense of quality) and rumors of the company getting sold..... it is not a great place.

Pros

I really didn’t find any pros. This was by far the worst experience of my career.

Cons

Company is solely focused on hitting quarterly results by any means possible which limits any long term thinking or decision making. The culture is cut throat, the open floor plan limits the ability to connect with co-workers, allows for zero personal space and feels like working in a call center. Leadership has adopted the GE model from the 80’s and has no idea how to treat people. For example,I was called ‘f$%^ing’ stupid by a C-Suite leader and was present in many meetings involving Sr. Leaders cussing out junior employees. To say it was demoralizing would be an understatement. The company claims to be on the cutting edge of technology, but it’s all show, smoke and mirrors. This is a thermostat, scanner and floor fan company that cannot figure out how to innovate beyond adding Bluetooth or moving the power button. Software products are developed by people with absolutely no knowledge of operations and the turnover rate is beyond acceptable. Most of the positive reviews on this site are written by people who are new to Honeywell and in the honeymoon period. This is intentional and is an action in the onboarding process to make the company look better than it is. Reviews by tenured employees are generally poor and consistent with this feedback.
