Pros

This is specific to Anthem- you might also see "Next Gen avionics" in the job description. You'll be working in a modern environment. No 30-year old cubicles, you're not using obscure tooling like PVCS that you'd be ashamed to put on your resume. Anthem is a huge priority for Honeywell and gets a lot of attention.

Cons

The amount of turnover should speak for itself. Most teams have lost half their members in the last two or three years. One reason for that is that if you work here you will have to compete with up to 20-25 other direct reports for your boss's help. Don't believe the terms in your offer letter- those 13 days of company holidays? Last year managers told us "don't plan for December vacations" despite above-average Q4 performance. Salary might seem ok but raises never track inflation. Work life balance is notoriously bad- a whiteboard here has the quote "death is not a reason not to close your story", and after my spouse had a panic attack my leader said "well we all have work-life issues like that we have to deal with". There's a reason Anthem is hiring a lot right now. Customer schedules are at risk and leadership would rather throw more water in the bucket than plug the holes in it. If Anthem were a great team more Honeywell employees would want to switch teams.

Pros

Dedicated professionals to allocate responsibilities; clear learning objectives; opportunities to assist engineers in the field.

Cons

Upper-tier management is a bit disorganized. Nobody seems to know what was promised in our contracts. Our scope is a bit vague sometimes.

Pros

Interesting product offerings, learning both global and domestic industry, ability to climb the ladder and have career growth if you work hard. Great people within the business.

Cons

Honeywell corporate culture is very negative. They don't really care about employees, and many executive level managers will ask for things that require late night and weekend work. There is very little work life balance, and no cross training so you still may be contacted or expected to pitch in while you are on vacation.
