Pros

You really work with some extremely smart people at a company which practically invented the industry.

Cons

Very outdated facilities, corporate culture, and management. Lots of middle management which is unnecessary and working there kind of feels like its the 90s. Many departments are full of dead end careers. Management pays absolutely no attention to the needs of their employees. In certain departments employee satisfaction with management is extremely low however nothing will ever change.

Very dysfunctional management

Pros

Pay is OK but benefits have eroded greatly since Honeywell took over Allied Signal. People are friendly & helpful. Unlimited overtime (if that's what you want).

Cons

Worst mentoring ever. Absolutely no help from managers, supervisors or workflows. No room for advancement. Only outside supervisors hired in the past 5 years (with no previous Aerospace manufacturing background). Management has lost focus on the big picture and is only interested in metrics. They push very hard for overtime, yet they have no idea where that time is spent. The result is that the same people abuse the overtime when there is no work to justify it. Huge emphasis on safety & improvement ideas, but this is only to pad the metrics for a manager or director. Immediate supervisor really clueless and rarely gives positive feedback. Very demoralizing environment. With the current management it will never realize it's full potential. The current HOS system is a one size fits all and no one there has the guts to tell Mr Cote that guess what, one size does not fit all. I guess that when you have dysfunctional management you cannot trust them to run the show so you have to come up with an act that will satisfy the shareholders. Touche Mr Cote. You are a great ringleader with the circus you call HOS.

Pros

You won't have a lot of left over salary to make frivilous purchases like an new car, nicer home, cool vacations, etc. You can pretty much work the hours you want. Your manager is too busy trying to score his/her next move to watch you. This is because most people who advance at Honeywell never stay longer than 3 years in one place. Keep moving so you never have to live with the decisions you made. Anyone who stays in their current role longer than 5 years is a loser.

Cons

Worst health care premiums and employee benefits in the Fortune 500. How about $7400/year for medical insurance on a family of four? And that's with a $3000 deductible. You're into your own pocket for $10,000 before the company spends one penny on you or your families health needs.. My business has lost over 30% of the salaried employees in the last 3 years. These were 20+ year employees. Every one of them went to a company with better benefits and pay. In most cases it takes 2-3 quarters to get approval to hire their replacements. Dave Cote has said "we will not be replacing employees in USA and Western Europe". So this is a dead end opportunityfor most North American and European careers. If you are looking for a job and you are a USA/European technical person - look somewhere else. Honeywell Sr. Management believes in the engineering prowess of such technical "hotspots" as Tianjin,CH, Bangalore, IN and Tijuana, MX ! That's where they are investing for the future. Not the USA.
