Pros

Diverse products allowing pursuit of different careers. Many national and international sites giving opportunities to move. Strong focus on high tech products - jet engines and flight guidance/management systems - military and commercial products. There are reasonable training opportunities and a reasonable support for initiatives such as Six Sigma and Lean. If you take the initiative and know what you are doing, build consensus and get the right level of support it is possible to move the needle on things you initiate/believe in - and not just follow Leadership initiatives. There us a huge gap in the demographics - lots of 20+ year folk, many younger people but few "middle managers" in the 10 -15 year range - so opportunnities will be growing as teh old guard retires.

Cons

It's a big corporation and the better you are at your job the more work you get. Slackers get to cruise. Cost of benefits far outstripping salaries. No respect for company service - they will cram someone with 10, 15, 20 years service in the same cubicle as someone who just joined the company - usually both of them in the same cubicle. Corporate policies are followed only when convenient - rules say you fly business class if a flight is over 8 hours, bosses say "fly in the back". Of course this only applies if you don' fly on one of the many corporate jets that the "leaders" fly around in.

Pros

Good Compensation Package Good People to Work with Nice Corporate Culture

Cons

Depts. where Management Levels are more, it is difficult for engineers. Sometimes one has to compromise on work life balance. Have an experience where a person was removed even when she was performing well. Office Politics exist.

Pros

Respected Fortune 500 company. Pay is decent, line of work can be interesting. Good health benefits. Flex Time was great! Tuition reimbursement is awesome (I was in a decent group with decent managers); they covered everything and never hesitated to do so even though my degree would eventually let me switch to another role (as long as it was something Honeywell was into it was supported). Good to have experience of how a big company operates and understand different processes. There's an effort to get everyone Six Sigma certified. Huge plus to have on a resume.

Cons

Lots of knowledge is stuck in the brains of old timers that are on the verge of retirement or have already retired. A better process is needed for information retention. Work is isolated to certain technologies and can be done without seeing the bigger picture of the product. It's nice to have visibility into what you're working on beyond its immediate purpose. Working in a big company can be slow and bureaucratic. If you want quick results and accountability (rather than deal with people who can keep their jobs and do little to nothing) then get on an active team with important projects or look elsewhere.
