Pros

Honeywell offers new employees a supportive start with easy onboarding, provided equipment, and digital self-service tools for HR and IT. The culture encourages flexible hours, cost-saving virtual collaboration via Teams, and clear procedures backed by training, all within a stable, globally recognized organization. CORA PPM provides a centralized, configurable platform with strong executive dashboards, live Gantt views, and integrated financial/risk tracking.

Cons

Despite having documented procedures, Honeywell’s project execution often suffers from inconsistent implementation, particularly in critical project controls like schedule baselines and progress measurement systems. I have experience role overload, expected to simultaneously manage cost control, scheduling, and progress tracking without dedicated on-site schedulers—especially on mega projects where one planner may be stretched across multiple workstreams. This challenge is amplified by heavy compliance and reporting demands, making it difficult to maintain focus and efficiency in fast-paced project environments. CORA PPM scheduling engine lacks the depth of Primavera P6 or MS Project, performance lag, limited report customization, a steep administration learning curve, and weak native directory/task features for enterprise rollout.

Pros

Strong customer base, talented employees, and opportunities to grow your career. Honeywell gives you exposure to complex technical challenges across multiple industries while providing the resources and support needed to be successful. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and there is no shortage of opportunities for those willing to take on additional responsibility

Cons

Frequent organizational changes can create additional meetings, reporting requirements, and administrative work. As the company continues to evolve, balancing internal processes with customer-facing priorities can sometimes be challenging. Long travel schedules can also impact work-life balance for field-based employees.

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.
