Pros

Hybrid schedule allowed for many positions.

Cons

Extremely old-school corporate culture that only cares about shareholder value. They will ask you to work evenings and weekends on top of your regular M-F 9-5 work schedule with no paid overtime or bonuses. They will look down on you if you can’t work all the extra hours but won’t tell you about this required overtime in the interview. Training is abysmal as everyone is too busy in their own tasks to train you properly. Most folks are so busy doing non value added activities because the systems here are so outdated. Overall the people are nice, but not very competent as literally no one knows what’s going on. Management constantly tries to push the “we need you to work the weekend” agenda without any regard to work/life boundaries. Honeywell operates very lean and utilizes extremely old software programs. The labs are filled with ancient tools and technology that were never upgraded so you’re spending all your time doing useless busy work to compensate for it. They don’t invest in themselves and it shows. Facilities are straight up from the 1950s and have never been renovated, or cleaned for that matter. Massive cable farm with zero windows. The fridges are filled with expired food that they claim they will “throw away at the end of the week” but never do. The cafeteria is a joke and way too expensive for a meal that I wouldn’t even serve to my worst enemy. Do not recommend working here unless you’re a new grad with no other options, or you don’t care about your job at all.

Pros

Interesting product offerings, learning both global and domestic industry, ability to climb the ladder and have career growth if you work hard. Great people within the business.

Cons

Honeywell corporate culture is very negative. They don't really care about employees, and many executive level managers will ask for things that require late night and weekend work. There is very little work life balance, and no cross training so you still may be contacted or expected to pitch in while you are on vacation.
