Pros

- Wages are competitive - Interesting work

Cons

- Honeywell views employees as liabilities. They cut back benefits at every turn. For example, they just announced that 401K match will be given only at the end of Jan of each year (lump sum). You lose it if you retire or are laid off. All this when they are experiencing double digit growth and profit. - Benefits are horrible. Extremely high premiums and deductibles. No dental or vision. - No vacation except for hourly employees. They switched to unlimited vacation, but varies wildly with your manager.. - Cannot work from home - even if your spouse is dying from cancer. - Extremely poor decision making at every level. - Too many processes that add no value. - They do not care about customers or quality. - The only entities that benefit from Honeywell is leadership and investors. - Salary employees are required to work a minimum of 44 hours per week at a 40 hour pay scale. No overtime for salaried employees. - Honeywell is outsourcing as much as possible to low cost regions. - Honewell is borderline unethical.

Pros

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Cons

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
