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

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.
