Pros

Free lunch (although the quality is poor), unlimited PTO (theoretically), some people have remote option 1-2 days a week.

Cons

The culture is horrendous - micromanagement, blame, fear and continues to get worse. Top management is a revolving door - each leader is in their role for less than 12 months, long enough to "drive change" while leaving a mess for the next poor soul to clean up. Most have no experience with the products or functional responsibilities that they are in charge of. Very few opportunities for anyone else once you are in the door. Continual cost cutting, layoffs, unpaid furlough, budget reductions and hiring freeze. The medical benefits are abysmal (worst I have ever experienced in 30 years). Open office atmosphere in Atlanta is dehumanizing. People are not treated with respect. The culture and politics have become increasingly racist. Microscopic focus on corporate KPIs (that change at a moment's notice) at the expense of truly developing great products and great customers. Regular 6:00am meetings as well as 6p-8p meetings in the same day.

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.
