Pros

You can gain knowledge of many areas and there are certainly options for sideways movement. Company somewhat encourages movement to gain expertise in multiple areas. Pay is on par and benefits package is pretty good, though current times have reduced this. Plenty of time out of work to have a life.

Cons

Not much room or fostering of people to move up in position. Organization pretty stagnant. Work being performed is not very intellectually rewarding.

Honeywell needs to retain talent.

Pros

Hioneywell has never defaulted on a paycheck and it does have good medical and dental insurance. The recent time keeping method ensures that one is paid overtime, even for a minute.

Cons

One never knows if one will have a job the next day. HR has lied to us about "protected status" during lay offs. Said they had no idea what that was. Senior management is not trusted.

Pros

Discounts on phones services. Reasonable benefits although they are getting worse. Good coworkers who are committed to doing whats right.

Cons

Centralized decision making - not giving business units the authority and responsibility for their own success. Too much focus on moving jobs to "emerging regions".. This translates to little job security or future if you are a US citizen. The company has growth by aquisition - and forces newly aquired copanies to follow the Honeywell processes and procedures. This may not make sense to do everything the Honeywell "way" but local managers are not allowed to deviate. The company is highly "siloed" with different support groups (e.g. purchasing, technology, manufacturing, sales, etc) having often different and incompatable metrics to meet. Looking out for the customer seems secondary to meeting your metrics. This is particularly true with global sourcing. Constant push to supplier prices, get better payment terms, etc follows the model used by automotive companies (e.g. GM, Chyrsler). Not a good example to follow for long term success..
