Pros

Very sharp technical people to work with. Defined sick time benefits 7% 401K match

Cons

Constant internal narrative that the company is poor and can't fully restore benefits which were "temporarily reduced/suspended" during great recession even though stock price is 5X. Tuition rembursement tied to 9 block rating (must be 1 or 2 [above average). "At Standard" performance does not count. Removal of ability to telecommute. Toxic work environment (Management by Fear and Intimidation). Negative re-enforcement applied as a employee motivational tool. Essentially W-2 job. There are really no benefits. - Employee pays full cost of Dental - Employee pays full cost of Vision - Medical is catastrophic coverage only Lack of defined vacation benefits (new policy of "unlimited" vacation as long as approved being used as a method to reduce time off for long time employees) Regular small Reduction in Force Job actions even when business conditions do not warrant it. Almost every HR policy ends with the phrase "Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination". Every group is required to have at least one employee on a PIP Mandatory non-compensated overtime for engineers. Failure to do so is counted against employee at review time.

Pros

I really didn’t find any pros. This was by far the worst experience of my career.

Cons

Company is solely focused on hitting quarterly results by any means possible which limits any long term thinking or decision making. The culture is cut throat, the open floor plan limits the ability to connect with co-workers, allows for zero personal space and feels like working in a call center. Leadership has adopted the GE model from the 80’s and has no idea how to treat people. For example,I was called ‘f$%^ing’ stupid by a C-Suite leader and was present in many meetings involving Sr. Leaders cussing out junior employees. To say it was demoralizing would be an understatement. The company claims to be on the cutting edge of technology, but it’s all show, smoke and mirrors. This is a thermostat, scanner and floor fan company that cannot figure out how to innovate beyond adding Bluetooth or moving the power button. Software products are developed by people with absolutely no knowledge of operations and the turnover rate is beyond acceptable. Most of the positive reviews on this site are written by people who are new to Honeywell and in the honeymoon period. This is intentional and is an action in the onboarding process to make the company look better than it is. Reviews by tenured employees are generally poor and consistent with this feedback.
