Pros

- Wages are competitive - Interesting work

Cons

- Honeywell views employees as liabilities. They cut back benefits at every turn. For example, they just announced that 401K match will be given only at the end of Jan of each year (lump sum). You lose it if you retire or are laid off. All this when they are experiencing double digit growth and profit. - Benefits are horrible. Extremely high premiums and deductibles. No dental or vision. - No vacation except for hourly employees. They switched to unlimited vacation, but varies wildly with your manager.. - Cannot work from home - even if your spouse is dying from cancer. - Extremely poor decision making at every level. - Too many processes that add no value. - They do not care about customers or quality. - The only entities that benefit from Honeywell is leadership and investors. - Salary employees are required to work a minimum of 44 hours per week at a 40 hour pay scale. No overtime for salaried employees. - Honeywell is outsourcing as much as possible to low cost regions. - Honewell is borderline unethical.

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.
