Pros

Hybrid schedule allowed for many positions.

Cons

Extremely old-school corporate culture that only cares about shareholder value. They will ask you to work evenings and weekends on top of your regular M-F 9-5 work schedule with no paid overtime or bonuses. They will look down on you if you can’t work all the extra hours but won’t tell you about this required overtime in the interview. Training is abysmal as everyone is too busy in their own tasks to train you properly. Most folks are so busy doing non value added activities because the systems here are so outdated. Overall the people are nice, but not very competent as literally no one knows what’s going on. Management constantly tries to push the “we need you to work the weekend” agenda without any regard to work/life boundaries. Honeywell operates very lean and utilizes extremely old software programs. The labs are filled with ancient tools and technology that were never upgraded so you’re spending all your time doing useless busy work to compensate for it. They don’t invest in themselves and it shows. Facilities are straight up from the 1950s and have never been renovated, or cleaned for that matter. Massive cable farm with zero windows. The fridges are filled with expired food that they claim they will “throw away at the end of the week” but never do. The cafeteria is a joke and way too expensive for a meal that I wouldn’t even serve to my worst enemy. Do not recommend working here unless you’re a new grad with no other options, or you don’t care about your job at all.

Pros

The team is great and people are excited to have you there. You are given value-added work and projects week 1. There are a lot of other interns at both the graduate and undergraduate level so there is a strong sense of intern community and support. If you have to relocate for the internship, complete housing is provided (they find you an apartment and pay for everything - results on the apartment itself may vary but are generally close to the office).

Cons

Varying start dates led to varying first day experience. The onboarding day for those who had it day 1 was great, but some interns got it after their first week and had little direction day 1.
