Pros

The people. Most of the people here like their job and want to do it well. Sense of family at the lower levels, we look out for each other's well being.

Cons

We have to look out for each other because of the ways Honeywell is manipulating everything about working here. Furloughs coming after an extremely profitable year, hiring freezes, "unlimited" vacation (no vacation), travel restrictions, $1500 insurance charge for smoking tobacco (goes to Honeywell, btw), stock buybacks when the tax cuts happened instead of raises and bonuses, having to be re-vested EVERY YEAR to get your 401k so they can keep their cash as long as possible (or take it back if you leave). Greed. Brace for more furloughs or RIF as the economy weakens.

Pros

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Cons

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
