How employees describe working at Honeywell
This company has a severely toxic work culture. Micromanagement, belittling, demeaning comments are commonplace. Although there is an unlimited vacation policy the managers frown upon taking even spring break off. The company restructures every 6 months.
Short sighted, no customer focus
Work life balance is an issue, manager partialities no captures. HR Function need to improve
Good company but bot sure for freshers
Great prior to pandemic. Then they let go senior talent significantly impacting all business areas

How are the dental insurance options at Honeywell?
Decent.
You may as well be self insured. Don’t pay the extra monthly fees for it.
Not good
What is the daily attire at Honeywell?
Casual.
Laid back. Casual. Maybe business casual for office roles. Wearing a suit on purpose every once in a while is nice to see shocked expressions on the faces of management.
Business casual
How often do promotions happen at Honeywell?
You should consider being a comedian instead of a Honeywell contracto- I mean employee.
Far and few in between unless you are a friend or family member of management or supervisors
The best to hope for is a lateral change to a less terrible role.
What is the PTO policy at Honeywell?
2 weeks sick, starting is 2 weeks vacation even though they tell you it’s unlimited. They say unlimited so they don’t have to compensate for it when they fire you.
Great except that you have to call in 1 hour before your shift starts. There are NO supervisors or planners there to to take the call or to alter the schedule. You get penalized for using PTO if you don't put in 1 hour notice before your shift starts
7 PTO days per year. But you have to call in 1 hour before your shift starts or you get penalized.
How does Honeywell measure success and growth in the Engineering department?
The only thing they care about is cost reduction not productivity, sales, etc. how can you do more for less. Pretty soon they’ve got the dollar store equipment of the aerospace industry
Numbers numbers
Projects MUST deliver a HIGHER margin than originally planned. No other measurement matters. It's all about the money.
Does Honeywell drug test or do a background check?
Both.
Drug test and background check.
Yes
How does Honeywell handle HR issues?
The don't. Your coworkers and managers are better equipped and better skilled at dealing with HR issues than HR. No one could be more detached from humanity or common sense or reasonable thought than anyone in HR. I think the only requirements To be in HR are a college degree, making sure the interviewing managers hate you, and confirmation that you enjoy being a bully.
Punish anyone complaining...and then fire the offending when the next round of rifs comes along
Depends on who is the person in HR vs. the employee. They unfairly decline to listen or investigated the situation. HR will just betray employee as Sharon Player do.
What's the office layout like at Honeywell?
It's a maze not very well organized
Its a maze
Old and dated, furniture bought when Ray Alvarez was still president of MIcro Switch
How's the work pace at Honeywell?
Some cells are way to fast. Some people don't have meet a goal. Very unbalanced and unfair
Not bad if you like 4 people wanting something at the same time continuously day in and day out
Depends on the cell. I never know where I will be working
Does Honeywell have any remote positions?
Yes for office people
Yes, some positions can but those are being reduced.
some jobs are flexible and you can work from home, but a fully remote position is not available
What are the most important soft skills to be successful at Honeywell?
Humor, putting things in perspective and letting go.
Lying and non verbal gestures. Nod your head yes. Good! Now tell me that you can do your job just fine without support staff and with everyone wanting to leave the company if they don't get laid off first! Excellent. See you Saturday and Sunday too.
Bend your head down, not your skills.
How hard is it to get promoted at Honeywell?
Not if you spend hours each day telling management how great they are. If you're great at your job and you already work there forget it.the quickest way to get promoted is to quit Honeywell for 3 years, gain experience elsewhere and re apply at the next level. But why put yourself through that again. You do NOT. WANT. TO WORK. HERE.
Hard if you are in Corp. May be different if you are at one of the SBG’s.
Extremely difficult unless you are family with a manager or good friend of a manager
What is Honeywell's policy towards pets in the workplace?
Not allowed
No pets allowed
No pets allowed
What are company outings like at Honeywell?
If you are asking this, you are ignoring the advice of peers not to work here, or a future executive. If you aren't either, my apologies. There is no such thing for us numbers. The company does not, and I am convinced without doubt that they ever will care about any employee. Even the ones that live under a manager or director's desk.
Nonexistent. They don’t want happy employees
We don't have outings. Just management and supervisors do
What perk or benefit should Honeywell have?
A perk or benefit. Not repeating the question for clarification. Just to clarify, that IS the answer.
Bonus pay for good workers but the bonus would only go to friends or family members of Management or supervisors
Bonus pay for laborers and associates
What is the onboarding process like at Honeywell and how long does it last?
Longer than it should. You'll feel like a hot potato getting passed around with managers trying to figure out who is actually hiring you, only to be redirected by that manager to the entire staff directory of a recruiting agency who will tell you to call her at honeywell who will tell you to call the manager who will tell you to call the recruitment firm. The above isn't a joke. Although it was funny. On HINDSIGHT. Experiencing it was not fun. That should have been my red flag that I didn't ignore.
What process? No one is left that knows what they are doing. They even fired all the admin that approved permission to access the systems. There is no onboarding process.
Overall the onboarding process is terrible however my boss actually laid out a good plan for me to meet others and I was able to get up to speed. But largely it requires you to take the initiative and go meet others, it’s very informal and depends on your boss.
How innovative is Honeywell?
As innovative as a junebug.
Innovation does not go rewarded. They make very feeble unimpressive efforts that way and then make a big deal about it as if what they did mattered.
Somewhat. We need a better line of recovery fall systems
What do employees at Honeywell think about their benefits?
They don't like them. Unless they are executives
They are lousy and overpriced. Huge deductible health insurance.
