Honeywell reviews

I worked for this company for 28 years. Wish I would have left earlier. They have just about destroyed their building controls ACS division, starting with the dissolving of the R&D department in Arlington heights. With Kevin Gilligan at the lead, they further wiped out the service dept, and never recovered. With No R&D, and buying anyone they can get their hands on to make up for it, they have not really produced ANYTHING in the building controls industry worth a good wet fart. Their motto in the 80s were "Our people are our most valuable asset", but with Cote pulling down ungodly bonuses while they cut back more and more on the little guys pay and benefits, the motto should be changed to "Our stockholders are our most valuable asset". The ACS division is so worried about anyone taking the little share of market they have left, that they lock down their controls as tight as possible to make it as hard as hell for other companies to take over their jobs, which are very poorly maintained and serviced. My feelings on this company: the ACS division of Honeywell is a poor choice for anyone looking for building automation. There are many companies out there that will outperform this dying dinosaur hands down, and at a much better price.

Worst medical benefits ever !!!! Most employees end up on spouse plans. Very intrusive policies. Some of the worst managers I have seen in my 25 yr career. They manage up and manage their careers only. Not a very personable place to work and very political. No real pension. Cutting benefits left and right. Work life balance can be a challenge. Lots of butt kissing and favoritism with no accountability. Very few promotions unless you jump from job to job. Arrogant business practices make customer interactions very challenging. Lots of red tape and programs that handcuff ability to deliver results. A culture that doesn't empower employees and policies that restrict creativity. Raises are miniscule and don't keep up with inflation so net pay decreases over time unless you want to move from job to job. Consensus decision process that dilutes results. If you are outspoken, watch out, it will bite you. Very poor communication. Some of the most arrogant self serving leadership anywhere. If you find a role you truly love, accept that you will stagnate in it.
