Pros

Grabbing here...Paycheck came on time?

Cons

Zero employee focus unless there is a problem, then you get more focus than any one person can handle. Employees are used to meet numbers for shareholders...not making numbers at quarter end, furloughs, pay cuts, layoffs. Not making year, benefit cuts, more layoffs, cancel hiring. Zero tranparency. You can count on that most of what little you are told, will be half the truth or spun. Lots of complaints about HR, while I agree they are not the smartest bunch of office mates there at HoneyHell, I was one of them after all so first hand experience, HR doesn't control anything, the upper management puppeteers everything, HR just gets the honkr to be the face to the employee. Employee surveys...wow...the idea to fix morale and engagement through employee clubs?? Pretty sure thats just not doing it. Constant layoffs and furloughs, constant. How does it feel to come to work each day not knowing if that day is "the" day? Brutal, I was there. How can you pay bills when there are constant furloughs? Only managers bonus so think about this when you are laid off...your manager, execs, etc still get their bonuses even when there were layoffs in the department or function. How does that feel?!?! How is that even legal? Shouldn't be and I couldn't be a part of it any longer, hence I left.

Pros

Strong customer base, talented employees, and opportunities to grow your career. Honeywell gives you exposure to complex technical challenges across multiple industries while providing the resources and support needed to be successful. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and there is no shortage of opportunities for those willing to take on additional responsibility

Cons

Frequent organizational changes can create additional meetings, reporting requirements, and administrative work. As the company continues to evolve, balancing internal processes with customer-facing priorities can sometimes be challenging. Long travel schedules can also impact work-life balance for field-based employees.
