Pros

Competitive base salary + 401K match (HON stock)

Cons

Political environment is insufferable. Zero training for new hires is apparent and is hurting the company big time. We create tons of internal issues and roadblocks because no one knows what they are doing, to the point I spend ~85% time fixing self created issues. Culture is worst I’ve ever experienced, unsure if it could be worse. Daily email traffic with internal coworkers is surprisingly combative, we virtually fight with each other. “Relationships” with suppliers are toxic and don’t exist. Executive leadership is clearly unqualified and overpaid. If your young, talented and looking to be recognized, RUN. Management is on the moon when it comes to recognizing talent and a job well done. You will not move up unless you conform to the stupid political environment. I don’t recommend anyone to work here.

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.
