Honeywell Aerospace Reviews

Pros

decent medical,dental vision,until they take it away whenever they get the chance.....

Cons

7 day work schedule ,no holidays might as well live there,so bring a cot and pillow they don't care about family they care about the parts out the door..the company hates the union and the employees don't even get anywhere near top pay, they'll bust that union so they can get 12 dollar an hour machinist...which will get them nowhere...but i did like the people i worked with and will miss them....the employees are the backbone of that company..

Advice to Senior Management

look at what you've got...not what you can take from them corporate greed will result in losing valuable people..such a shame that company could be so much more...but i guess paying the ceo 25 million will make there products better and their process better(not) take some pride in your people and show them that,you will get alot more results..

Advice to Senior Management

Communicate with employees, dont make new procedures without talking to employees first. Offer more learning experiences, promote growth within the company

Pros

Some can get in a niche and it will be a reasonably secure job.

Cons

Not cutting edge. Using techniques and methods that were proven ineffective 25 years ago by the rest of the world. Those trying to change things for the better are not rewarded, only fought at every step of the way, including by upper management.

Often not given the tools needed to do the job. For example, so many websites are blocked now, that I've been unable to access websites I tried to use to find good info to do my technical job. Also been blocked from doctor's websites. Far too much "scare tactics" that you are being monitored.

Too much hero worship. Instead of setting up a positive environment to do things right in the first place, the standard procedure seems to reward the "heros" who come in and save the day so that it is ALWAYS a firefighting mode type of lifestyle.

Advice to Senior Management

Look to the long term. Realize that products are 90% software and 10% hardware now (that switch happened 20 years ago)....much more software support is needed. Allow more pilots to try newer methods and processes to realize they can be much more effective. For example, waterfall software development process has been LONG proven ineffective. There are much better processes out there (like Agile).

Pros

Great and committed co[workers and products.

Very poor mangement. Upper management not in touch with individual businesses within aerospace. Current organization stucture inadequate to run the businesse effectively.
