Pros

Grabbing here...Paycheck came on time?

Cons

Zero employee focus unless there is a problem, then you get more focus than any one person can handle. Employees are used to meet numbers for shareholders...not making numbers at quarter end, furloughs, pay cuts, layoffs. Not making year, benefit cuts, more layoffs, cancel hiring. Zero tranparency. You can count on that most of what little you are told, will be half the truth or spun. Lots of complaints about HR, while I agree they are not the smartest bunch of office mates there at HoneyHell, I was one of them after all so first hand experience, HR doesn't control anything, the upper management puppeteers everything, HR just gets the honkr to be the face to the employee. Employee surveys...wow...the idea to fix morale and engagement through employee clubs?? Pretty sure thats just not doing it. Constant layoffs and furloughs, constant. How does it feel to come to work each day not knowing if that day is "the" day? Brutal, I was there. How can you pay bills when there are constant furloughs? Only managers bonus so think about this when you are laid off...your manager, execs, etc still get their bonuses even when there were layoffs in the department or function. How does that feel?!?! How is that even legal? Shouldn't be and I couldn't be a part of it any longer, hence I left.

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.
