Pros

World class co-workers working on some of the most innovative technology in the Aerospace industry. Good base pay. Industry-leading initiatives in production productivity and marketing activity.

Cons

The benefits are awful and keep getting worse. Honeywell pioneered medical testing for its entire employee base annually. We have only sky high deductible plans for medical and nothing special in any other areas. Honeywell Aerospace has had multiple years with no raises and multiple furloughs and layoffs since I joined a few years ago. Many positions have relocated to low-cost regions. I have never felt like my job is secure at this company. The site facilities are awful, the cafeterias have awful food with no options and they close early for every meal. There is no on-site IT support for computer or printer issues. I can't even use the garbage can in my cube for food waste because they don't pick up garbage every night so all food waste has to go in the central garbage. They have no consideration for quality of life or work / life balance. Telecommuting regularly is no longer allowed. Health or child care facilities are not available on-site. The only common space is the cafeteria, so socializing is difficult. They have even eliminated annual barbeques, Christmas parties, etc. This place is just soul sucking and no fun.

Pros

Excellent pay, Ability to work from home. Bonuses if you're able to get Band 4 or above. Software engineers are a focus for the future.

Cons

Expensive health insurance with $3000 deductible. Relentless focus on removing US employees in Aerospace and placing overseas. Layoffs and furloughs with no annual raises are happening more frequently. Low investment in new Aerospace products, appear to be cost cutting company to death or sale to another company. UTC was smart to stay away. Upper management appears to never focused beyond 1 year out. They tell Wall Street one thing and employees another. They've been saying they're in a slow growth environment for 8 years now. If you're right out of college, I wouldn't recommend Honeywell as you'll find better management. work environment, health insurance and more elsewhere without the high risk of losing your job. They want to be a software company, so Aerospace hardware is in conflict with that.

Pros

Salary is competitive, room for advancement, and great co-workers.

Cons

You are a number, and this isn't a typical scorned employee opinion, this is fact. In the 5 years I've been with the company: - Top pay for high level mechanics has been cut by 10k/year - Medical costs have risen 20% - Company contribution to HSA account was reduced, then removed altogether - We are now "fined" up to 1.5k (to be added to medical cost) for not participating in employee health screenings and for smoking - Pentions are now capped at current salary (will no longer increase as salary increases) - Two (2ea) raises in 5 years totaling 2.5% (1st was 1%, 2nd was 1.5%). Raises are suspended this year as well - Furloughed for a week (7 days without pay one month before Christmas). Upon return, layoff begins There are more examples but who has the time. It seems no opportunity to screw employees is passed. It happens incrementally, slowly, meticulously removing another "perk" as soon as the memory if the last fades. The stock is doing well, so it must be working for them.
