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

Great teammates, great team leads who support and train well. Professional and structured work environment with freedom to develop individual talents. Lots of staff appreciation and camaraderie. Lot's of positions and opportunity for growth and promotion. Amazing learning experiences with opportunities to work, learn and interact with team members from diverse roles backgrounds and professions.

Cons

Starting salaries can skew lower, system redesigns are often flawed and redundant. Promotions are given however they require several before high salary and also they are often very political. Sometimes they would promote people who were neither proficient or knowledgeable but simply favored by a particular higher up.

Pros

Only the individual contributors at this company are nice. All managers are pretty useless.

Cons

Worse run company I have EVER been exposed to. I left on good terms but I have been needing to call their HR department for almost a year to finalize a paycheck and get a W2 corrected, which they never did and has created so many headaches with my taxes. Just the worst kind of incompetence. I am shocked this company even functions. Whoever is over HR and payroll should actually do their job. 0 accountability here. I am glad I got an offer to go somewhere else while I hadn't wasted any significant amount of my life there. I will forever, tell everyone I meet to never waste their time with Honeywell or the newly created off shoots.
