Pros

- Work with smart people - Brand name on your resume - Compensation at market rate when you start

Cons

- Systemic lack of accountability, ownership, and career growth across the different businesses unless you are at VP, GM, or above - Furloughs, pay cuts, re-orgs, and title changes are infamously part of Honeywell's "MOS" year after year - Approx 30% voluntary attrition within 2 years and 15-20% within 1 year across multiple functions (especially product management, sales, marketing, customer experience...engineers and production tend to be RIF/RIM instead of leaving voluntarily) - Outside of a high-level onboarding at HQ, you and your team will likely not receive training, education, or tools as your budget keeps getting cut - Annual raises above 3% for even the most stellar employee, totally unheard of. Average raise without a job promotion is 1-2%. The 8 core behaviors are subjective performance metrics and the vehicle that Honeywell uses to downgrade your annual bonus because each department does not get a decent budget for bonus or merit. - Run down offices. Free coffee not provided. - Many more, which layoff.com does a good job recording while also providing endless entertainment

Pros

Dedicated professionals to allocate responsibilities; clear learning objectives; opportunities to assist engineers in the field.

Cons

Upper-tier management is a bit disorganized. Nobody seems to know what was promised in our contracts. Our scope is a bit vague sometimes.

Pros

Interesting product offerings, learning both global and domestic industry, ability to climb the ladder and have career growth if you work hard. Great people within the business.

Cons

Honeywell corporate culture is very negative. They don't really care about employees, and many executive level managers will ask for things that require late night and weekend work. There is very little work life balance, and no cross training so you still may be contacted or expected to pitch in while you are on vacation.
