Pros

I honestly can't find a plus for this company.

Cons

Everyone is overworked and not getting paid for overtime, management kept telling the team the project has no money but requires us to work extra hours. The unlimited vacation is a joke, you get crucified for taking too many days off. There's fear in this new culture that if you are an underperformer you will not have a project to work on and you will be let go. It's also top heavy, too many people managing projects and not enough people doing real work. Management demand is also unrealistic, they push you to deliver the products but won't give you resources or time to complete it. The benefit package (medical, dental, vision) is nothing to brag about, you pay a lot for a family plan although the company is self-insured. There's also no remote work policy.

Pros

Friendly colleges and average technology adoption Used to be employee friendly until 2014.

Cons

If you throw a stone in HTS campus it'll hit a manager or program manager for sure. Company is filled with inefficient managers and most of the talented employees already left the company due to politics. Leaders talk a lot about innovation culture and when it comes to new technology or training they wash of their hand. Leader's in HTS are only good at power point presentation .They are more worried about HOS,Kaizen and process a than project . No transparency in hiring process. Recruitment team is outsourced and they give importance only to external consulting firms.Refers are only for name sake here. Cafetaria food is horrible and no action taken to improve it. Operation team members bully the cafeteria vendor and get free food/meals/juice. Don't get trapped by brand name. worked here for 6.5 years.

Pros

- The people are knowledgeable and friendly, most older people are eager and willing to help. - UOP management still cares about employees - Great opportunities to learn - There is a lot of focus on job training and getting new people up to speed - Many opportunities to get involved (engineering, research, tech service, field service, etc) - Great way to start a career - Good 401(k) - 75% contribution to the first 8%, low cost options available - Challenging work, but there is still a good work-life balance for most people - Puts time and resources in developing tools to assist engineers (although the suspicion by most is that the engineers are training tools to do their jobs for them) - Honeywell is intent on growing offices in developing regions and more or less letting American offices shrink via attrition (massive RIFs in US but added positions elsewhere) - Unlimited vacation (also a negative, see below)

Cons

- Benefits used to be competitive but every year they keep taking things away. Oil companies blow UOP out of the water in terms of benefits/pay. - As of 2017 Honeywell no longer allows working from home, even if you live more than 2 hours away and the only site within those 2 hours is not even a PMT site. - The pension is no longer available for new hires, and existing employees were capped at their 2014 salary - Have to pay our own dental - Furloughs, RIFs and cost cutting even when times were good for UOP - they are tied to Honeywell performance, so there's no incentive to perform - Moral is extremely low at all levels, even management - No longer allow business class travel, even for flights to Asia - but we still bill the customers a business class rate for travel allowance - Sales is now driving the company and not the technology or innovation - Honeywell wants to focus on systems and not engineers - Vacation is no longer guaranteed and is completely subject to the whims of who you report to.
