Pros

Flexible work schedule is a major plus. In my group, we are allowed to work different hours, so long as our yield is met, and advance notice is given. My direct management is generally available and willing to help when direction is needed.

Cons

I don't think that executive management is really looking out for the employee. Pay cuts were given to employees, but not to the executive management. Throughout the various townhall meetings, you get the distinct impression that you are being told one thing, but that the actions will soon be something else. The processes in place for almost every activity can be a real headache to get through. It can be discouraging to see simple tasks take weeks or even months, due to a "process"

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.
