Pros

"unlimited" vacation...… this is nice when it's actually approved. the people are the best thing about this company. However, all of the good people are leaving.

Cons

Been here for almost two years now. I came in on the merger process when Honeywell was taking over. I always though of Honeywell as a great company to work for until I worked for them. Benefits changed drastically and the 401k is not as good as it used to be; they actually hold it until the end of the year to give you the match which allows them to collect interest on it. Hiring freezes which keep employees from seeking other opportunities within the company. Recently learned that Honeywell furloughs people at least once a year for a few weeks even if your branch of the company is profitable. There is no work/life balance at this company. They preach separating your work from your home life but how is that expected when you are working long weekends and away from your family for weeks on end. It would have been nice to take this job knowing that there is a potential to be furloughed .

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.
