Pros

Honeywell is a great place to work if you completely ignore the company direction and upper management goals. Every week it seemed a new "directive" was handed down from on high, buzzwords were granted fertile ground to breed at the never ending stream of meetings that seemed to fill out the working day. I swear to you, we actually held meeting to plan subsequent meetings. I watched that company hemorrhage money, often wondering how they could stay in business as long as they have been operational. Honeywell is a company that will spend 1k to save 1$. Frankly, when I was RIF'd, I had mixed feelings. I miss my co-workers but I don't miss the screwy corporate atmosphere.

Cons

As a middle management employee there where few downsides, the company treats you well. As a rational human being it was like working in a sitcom about a distopian mockery of a government contracting industrial corporation. Madness and lots of it.

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.
