Honeywell International Reviews

Pros

Positive environment. Good pay for my position.

Cons

Comprehensive benefits, but too expensive.

Pros

Company has a great reputation, looks good on your resume, employee development is decent and the salaries are pretty good.

Cons

Very little room for advancement. In my department, moving up means moving to another city at your own expense or having your manager quit & applying to take his/her place.

Advice to Senior Management

While it's great to encourage employees to grow, don't forget to allow them the opportunity to use those new skills. It becomes frustrating when professional growth doesn't go hand-in-hand with career advancement.

Pros

Decent place to work at honeywell

Cons

benefits and career advancement are not in par with other large corp

Pros

There are sufficient opportunities to grow.

Cons

Salary is low and needs to be reviewed.

Advice to Senior Management

Better balance between job and off.

Pros

Great training programs and emphasis on continous improvement

Cons

Bureacratic at times. This company needs to innovate.

Advice to Senior Management

innovate more

Pros

Learning a lot about products (although outdated technology).

Cons

Promotions and merit increases based on seniority and length of employment, not performance.
Middle and upper management are highly incompetent.
No new product development.
Poor project management.
Upper management more concerned about quarterly performance than the sustainability of the company and technology.
No investment is made in the talent pool in the USA.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop offshoring jobs and technology. Cut your losses and invest into manufacturing facilities in the US. Provide merit increases and bonuses based on performance, not seniority. Stop promoting incompetent people into management. Lean out the top ranks.

Pros

Benefits are decent. Not every sector of Honeywell is treated the same. Some sectors are better than others.

Cons

Honeywell Management likes to micromanage everything. Managers give deadlines due by COB and doesn't give assignments until 3/4PM; knowing the person won't be able to complete the assignment in that amount of time, then complains about giving overtime.

Maybe if management listened to employees legitimate concerns they wouldn't have so much of a revolving door.

Pros

good company if you stay hired. Lot of learning opportunity when the company is doing good otherwise you are doing the same thing all the time

Cons

I got laid off in 2 years - was far from home and had to get thru 495 traffic which was bad

Advice to Senior Management

Please treat your people justly - IT will boost the company morale.
the management need training in leardership . Will retain good people

Pros

Good work/life balance, good compensation, most people are very willing to help and guide you, some good benefits, although not as good as pre-recession.

Cons

US based employees are treated like liabilities as the desire by upper management is to move all of these jobs to "low cost" regions like Mexico and India. Massive bloated corporate structure consisting of too many people working on vague initiatives to "improve process" instead of doing real work, thereby hindering the people attempting to do real work.

Advice to Senior Management

Learn that the management strategy process improvement nonsense like six sigma, Lean manufacturing and the like aren't replacements for good people that know how to service the company and the end customer. Also learn that cheap "emerging market" people create more work for the depleted US based employee base and don't add value.

Pros

My manager is a very nice guy and teach me a lot about the industry. Also the program is very interesting.

Cons

Because my group was a new group, I think the connection between colleagues was not enough for a project. And the organization may be a little messy.

Advice to Senior Management

I think short-term interns may not be the best choice for a mature group. Maybe the manager could hire some long term employees to help him do the job.
