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

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).
