Pros

The people. Most of the people here like their job and want to do it well. Sense of family at the lower levels, we look out for each other's well being.

Cons

We have to look out for each other because of the ways Honeywell is manipulating everything about working here. Furloughs coming after an extremely profitable year, hiring freezes, "unlimited" vacation (no vacation), travel restrictions, $1500 insurance charge for smoking tobacco (goes to Honeywell, btw), stock buybacks when the tax cuts happened instead of raises and bonuses, having to be re-vested EVERY YEAR to get your 401k so they can keep their cash as long as possible (or take it back if you leave). Greed. Brace for more furloughs or RIF as the economy weakens.

Pros

Honeywell has a really good early careers program.

Cons

If you like upstate New York, then it's a really pleasant place to work.

Pros

The team is great and people are excited to have you there. You are given value-added work and projects week 1. There are a lot of other interns at both the graduate and undergraduate level so there is a strong sense of intern community and support. If you have to relocate for the internship, complete housing is provided (they find you an apartment and pay for everything - results on the apartment itself may vary but are generally close to the office).

Cons

Varying start dates led to varying first day experience. The onboarding day for those who had it day 1 was great, but some interns got it after their first week and had little direction day 1.
