Honeywell Aerospace IT Project Manager Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 4 weeks)

Got an email from the hiring manager requesting an initial screening interview. He described the role in more detail then simply said, "Tell me about yourself". After I was done with my tap dance, He thanked me and that was all. A week later I was contacted for a second interview, this time with a panel of people where they asked many behavioral type questions "describe a situation where you had to use power; describe a situation where you needed help and how you went about getting it, etc". At the end of the call I had the sense that things were going well. This time they were more open about how I was doing during the interview and made some encouraging remarks. A third interview was scheduled with another panel. This time much less formal and seemed more focused on reaching consensus about my candidacy.

I was finally placed in touch with the HR person that was to handle my "case". This is where the process broke down in my opinion. She seemed to have her own take on the role and was hurried and spent a limited amount of time talking to me about what I think is the all important part of the process. Her handling of the discussions surrounding salary and other issues left much to be desired. She did not sell the company well and had a dry approach in her dealings with me. It totally turned me off and left me wondering how much I would have to deal with her if I were to take the job.

The entire process took about a month and it was very nice and pleasant all the way through. Everyone was perfectly nice and made me feel at ease at all times. I had a good sense about the people and it was unfortunate that the HR person did not fit the mold. Our discussions fell flat from that point on. Had their HR been on the same vibe as the rest of the team it could have been a completely different result.
