Pros

* Great technology - Much of the technology is all self developed - Best process technology world wide * Great Talent * Solid benefits * Stable business * Recognized Name

Cons

* Lost touch with customer results - Focused on Wall Street Metrics over customer business results (You know, the people who buy what you make...???) * Follow GE business practices like a shadow - Not original any more * Too conservative so risk adverse it impedes growth * Weak Sales and Marketing front - Consumed so much with cost of sales they cannot reach customers * No bandwidth in Marketing * No vision - Only invest in mature technologies * Myopic - Only see things in the Honeywell world. * Not embracing entrepreneurial attitudes -they would like to be, tout the talk, but are process regimented and mute individual thinking. All goals and objectives have to follow word for word what management instructs. No latitude for individual responsibility. "Bill Gates would have been fired here in a week!" * Too many Ladder Climbers - Passion to drive business is lost. Leadership places unqualified leadership into unknown business sectors because they are politically connected. (Its the Allied way) Assumption? If they did good in one role they are good in another role. To drive any business you must have passion for that business.

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.
