Honeywell reviews

Culture is unbelievably bad, apathy is a way of life. Be prepared to forget any contract with your suppliers unless it benefits Honeywell, common knowledge that terminations and cancellations will not be paid to suppliers regardless of circumstance based on Management directives.

- Changes in education reimbursement policy (was 100%, is currently below 6,000 annual cap for graduate degree) makes the company less desirable to work for. - Other companies pay more - All company picnics/charitable monetary matches/open houses cancelled. - in current economy, management is focused on short term results affecting bottom line only (via outsourcing of internal work and supply base, contract push-out's, etc.) - Management is not fostering healthy supplier relationships - actions being taken will cause future business with suppliers to suffer - Performance reviews not taken seriously by all management - reviews and merits are based on a quota system. Additionally, employees are not given proper access to resources, time, and training in order to meet specific goals. Certain initiatives (relating to order policy, dock/reciepts scheduling, etc) actually make goals more difficult to achieve. All employees have same goals (cut & paste template flowed down to all) in Performance Tracking system. - Honeywell corporate focuses on 40 hours mandatory training per year in their recruiting process. However, Aerospace does not support employee development/training, especially in hard financial times or end-of-year timeframe. The Six Sigma Certification is more a "degree mill" than learning process resulting in tangible process improvements. Teams have been certified in less than 1 week when in actuality a Green Belt/Six Sigma project should takes several weeks. - employee morale very low. Management experiences high turnover in terms of people & initiatives/policies. - Increase in salary is based upon your relationship with management (who you know) & roles changes, not so much excelling in one's current position. Most do not stay in a role more than 18 months (little personal or financial incentive to do so). This results in little positive impact to the business - the employee learns the job and leaves for another job and bump in pay. - extreme fear of layoffs as sourcing, production & support acitivity is phased out to low-cost regions abroad. - Changes in health care policy to "encourage" voluntary retirement viewed as unethical by some emloyees further decreasing employee morale and loyality. - Top executive bonuses do not match pay cuts inflicted upon employees actually performing the work which keeps parts moving & customers satisfied.
