Pros

Good health benefits No other pros.

Cons

All new and future manufacturing and engineering work outsourced to India and China (for past 10 years) Long work hours due to overseeing poor quality of work from outsourced engineers (100% spent on re-doing the work from India, 50% of time spent on doing actual work) Too many management layer who does not understand technical challenges Too many managers and not enough workers Extremely slow career advancement Poor yearly performance review (received same review comments for last three years) No innovation - dead product Management lacks vision

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.
