Pros

Nothing really other than you get a fortune 500 company on your resume.

Cons

The biggest joke is Six Sigma, we are all trained in it but nobody uses it. The second biggest joke is "employees are our best asset", with all of the layoffs who are they trying to kid? The company cares about the bottom line for the next quarter, period. Anything that would reduce the bottom line for the next quarter even if it would increase it for years to come is not approved. Anything that would make the bottom line look good in the short term but destroy the company in the long term is approved. If you can show you save money it is approved, if you do not save money but improve customer service or employee satisfaction it is not approved.

Pros

I really didn’t find any pros. This was by far the worst experience of my career.

Cons

Company is solely focused on hitting quarterly results by any means possible which limits any long term thinking or decision making. The culture is cut throat, the open floor plan limits the ability to connect with co-workers, allows for zero personal space and feels like working in a call center. Leadership has adopted the GE model from the 80’s and has no idea how to treat people. For example,I was called ‘f$%^ing’ stupid by a C-Suite leader and was present in many meetings involving Sr. Leaders cussing out junior employees. To say it was demoralizing would be an understatement. The company claims to be on the cutting edge of technology, but it’s all show, smoke and mirrors. This is a thermostat, scanner and floor fan company that cannot figure out how to innovate beyond adding Bluetooth or moving the power button. Software products are developed by people with absolutely no knowledge of operations and the turnover rate is beyond acceptable. Most of the positive reviews on this site are written by people who are new to Honeywell and in the honeymoon period. This is intentional and is an action in the onboarding process to make the company look better than it is. Reviews by tenured employees are generally poor and consistent with this feedback.
