Pros

Fortune 500 company. Honeywell is nice envirionment to challenge yourself and learn about the dynamics and soft skills essential to success at a large, multinational, publicly trade company.

Cons

The most prominent downside of working at Honeywell Aerospace is a culture that promoted short term benefits and the expense process, people, and reputation. Too often the fluid periodic and annual goals are accomplished without a fundamental review, understanding, risk mitigation, or accountability of the various actions and strategies engaged to meet these goals. Too often solutions brokered on department and personal reputations, future business opportunities, or various other compromises are reneged upon, unilaterally re-interpreted, or blatantly disregarded to satisfy the short term metrics without accountability for any associated collateral damage. The results are a culture who responds to business policy as recommendations versus organization reliability, integrity, or predictability; a culture who has disappointed their internal peer groups to a level where mutual cooperation/cross functional problem solving without direct senior management engagement is rare; a culture where your company’s brand with external customers, partners, and various industry insiders disqualifies you from various discussions based on a series of documented events where your company has and continues to underperform on their commitment. Relating this observation with comments from the “Pros” section, as Fortune 500 company, Honeywell’s overall revenue value proposition will afford you the opportunity to redefine the predominant culture. The question is do I want to make a career of changing culture everyday when the conditions that fosters this culture remains unchanged?

Pros

The team is great and people are excited to have you there. You are given value-added work and projects week 1. There are a lot of other interns at both the graduate and undergraduate level so there is a strong sense of intern community and support. If you have to relocate for the internship, complete housing is provided (they find you an apartment and pay for everything - results on the apartment itself may vary but are generally close to the office).

Cons

Varying start dates led to varying first day experience. The onboarding day for those who had it day 1 was great, but some interns got it after their first week and had little direction day 1.
