Pros

Excellent pay, Ability to work from home. Bonuses if you're able to get Band 4 or above. Software engineers are a focus for the future.

Cons

Expensive health insurance with $3000 deductible. Relentless focus on removing US employees in Aerospace and placing overseas. Layoffs and furloughs with no annual raises are happening more frequently. Low investment in new Aerospace products, appear to be cost cutting company to death or sale to another company. UTC was smart to stay away. Upper management appears to never focused beyond 1 year out. They tell Wall Street one thing and employees another. They've been saying they're in a slow growth environment for 8 years now. If you're right out of college, I wouldn't recommend Honeywell as you'll find better management. work environment, health insurance and more elsewhere without the high risk of losing your job. They want to be a software company, so Aerospace hardware is in conflict with that.

Pros

Salary is competitive, room for advancement, and great co-workers.

Cons

You are a number, and this isn't a typical scorned employee opinion, this is fact. In the 5 years I've been with the company: - Top pay for high level mechanics has been cut by 10k/year - Medical costs have risen 20% - Company contribution to HSA account was reduced, then removed altogether - We are now "fined" up to 1.5k (to be added to medical cost) for not participating in employee health screenings and for smoking - Pentions are now capped at current salary (will no longer increase as salary increases) - Two (2ea) raises in 5 years totaling 2.5% (1st was 1%, 2nd was 1.5%). Raises are suspended this year as well - Furloughed for a week (7 days without pay one month before Christmas). Upon return, layoff begins There are more examples but who has the time. It seems no opportunity to screw employees is passed. It happens incrementally, slowly, meticulously removing another "perk" as soon as the memory if the last fades. The stock is doing well, so it must be working for them.

Pros

There are opportunities if you connect with the right people and you actively seek out chances to do more. Group leader jobs now go through an interview process instead of just giving to the most senior employee, so employees who just want more money aren't in charge.

Cons

Company is really top-heavy; lots of VPs reporting to other VPs, reporting to directors, who report to executives, yet the employees who actually make the products and support the products work an insane number of hours each week because they are understaffed. Hit your numbers, hit your numbers, yet the office people waltz in whenever they want, then walk to mcdonalds every morning, then leave any time they want. HR is a joke, entire HR team has turned over twice in the last 5 years and they refuse to help the employees with anything, that is, if they are even around, they are almost never at the office. I don't want to call some phone number for help with benefits, you help me! That is HR's job! No flu shots, no holiday dinner, no five dollar honeywell calendar, none of it. You can't just take, take, take. At some point, you have to give us something, or something will give on our end!
