Pros

Honeywell is a huge corporation with over 120,000 employees worldwide, so things tend to vary by division and location. They are a process oriented organization, and provide a significant amount of training, pretty good benefits, and exposure to world class technology in many cases. I believe that executive management is competent, and leading the company in the right direction.

Cons

Because of its size, you sometimes feel like a cog in a giant wheel, where the quarterly earnings are all important. They will cut quickly to make projected numbers, without much regard for the long term. Much of HON is a manufacturing driven organization, and has a hard time truly understanding some of their service based businesses. There can also be competition in the marketplace between various HON divisions. Although they claim to take an objective approach, if you are in a company acquired by HON, leave quickly, as they will gut it and put their own people in place (even as they say they won't).

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.
