Pros

-Experience was excellent, and helped my understanding of the petroleum industry -Employees are great, at least my specific group was (very modest, intelligent, and patient) -Intelligent work allowed me to realize the complexity of the work (you don't experience this in college (as tough as it is), surprisingly...)

Cons

-I was bored a lot, not because the work wasn't challenging (it was extremely difficult), but because I was pretty much on a computer 6-7 hours of the day or sitting down at meetings. Days had a tendency to drag, but it was totally worth it to trudge to the material for the knowledge. You'll come out knowing more than all of the other students at your respective college, and you can impress future employers with your ability to fully describe the chemistry and mechanics behind oil refinery. -Human Resources is a joke. Don't expect much out of them. -Get competitive with pay! (like everyone has already said!) You lost THIS intern because that low ball 48k offer.

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.
