Pros

Fortune 500 company. Honeywell is nice envirionment to challenge yourself and learn about the dynamics and soft skills essential to success at a large, multinational, publicly trade company.

Cons

The most prominent downside of working at Honeywell Aerospace is a culture that promoted short term benefits and the expense process, people, and reputation. Too often the fluid periodic and annual goals are accomplished without a fundamental review, understanding, risk mitigation, or accountability of the various actions and strategies engaged to meet these goals. Too often solutions brokered on department and personal reputations, future business opportunities, or various other compromises are reneged upon, unilaterally re-interpreted, or blatantly disregarded to satisfy the short term metrics without accountability for any associated collateral damage. The results are a culture who responds to business policy as recommendations versus organization reliability, integrity, or predictability; a culture who has disappointed their internal peer groups to a level where mutual cooperation/cross functional problem solving without direct senior management engagement is rare; a culture where your company’s brand with external customers, partners, and various industry insiders disqualifies you from various discussions based on a series of documented events where your company has and continues to underperform on their commitment. Relating this observation with comments from the “Pros” section, as Fortune 500 company, Honeywell’s overall revenue value proposition will afford you the opportunity to redefine the predominant culture. The question is do I want to make a career of changing culture everyday when the conditions that fosters this culture remains unchanged?

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.
