Q&A With Honeywell Employees

Depressed, if you survive the layoffs. Expected to work overtime to compensate for furloughs and layoffs but no one wants to any more.

40+

60 hours are typical

Our customers who genuinely appreciate what we can help them accomplish

Knowing I have protected people

Effective and not difficult. Takes too long however to get a decision from HR and Leadership to make an offer

Typical multiple interviews. They seem to care more about credentials and impressive education than actual experience and capabilities.

Some are nice but most don't speak at all

the team lead for the burner assembly needs to grow up.

Colleagues and my paycheck

No excitement there at all

Working with my team to accomplish my goals

Do not know. Not given any feedback on that area

The candidate should know that they are just a number and the company will not hesitate to remove them at first chance and shift their work to someone else who is already over burdened.

Greatly

It is held after you've been selected and have been given an offer. The drug test is one of the mandatory onboarding task.

Yes they drug test for internships and full-time offers. The test occurs after you accept the offer and they’re working on putting you in the system.

Interview process. And randomly after that. Know someone who has worked there 30+ years and has never been drug tested, and another who has worked there for 5 and was tested twice in a 3 month period. They really do mean random.

1 week

Not long. Be prepared for a low-ball offer. Better news is you don't have to worry about negotiating. They won't.

2 weeks

1-2 weeks

Not long at all. If you hear back positively and you have another good chance at an opening elsewhere I can't plead with you enough to take that one.

Frequently, but the amount of the raise differs per year of course.

Hahahaha. That's funny. Tell me another one. Easiest way to get a raise at Honeywell is to find another job after you get some experience. It's a big step up when you exit those doors no matter which way you walk from there. Even if it's back in. Haha.

Supposed to be yearly but depends on "Who you are"

There are no perks. Not anymore. Ok, I take that back. The best perk when you work at Honeywell is the intense moral support you will get from others when you tell them where you work.

It used to be my coworkers before they were laid off. Honeywell doesn’t offer perks. Honeywell - perk - oxymoron

I don't get any "Perks"

You get told on Friday midday not to come back the following monday. Terrible policy

Poorly. There shouldn't be layoffs if Honeywell would run the business better

Layoffs depend on who is liked or disliked. It is not a standard, it's based on favouritism

You see picture of it all the time on websites. It's just to look good. Like house with perfect siding or stucco without Interior walls or floors and black mold everywhere.

I’ve seen pictures, but they must come from actors because I’ve never seen activities like that.

None that I am aware of. Management doesn't present any

No process. You go where they want you to go. If you want to move, you won't. If you want to stay put, you won't.

Be there for 18 months and apply, but why would anyone on want to? It is all the same.

There are no teams. Only coworkers in a cell. You get told where to go on a daily basis

Pretty cheap.

You may as well be self insured.

I opted out because after paying the premium all year and the cost of exams and contacts it would cost me MORE money than to just pay for it myself

They provide a grossed up for taxes amount. But they'll hire you on for less pay to balance it. Don't work here.

Zero. When they close your plant you are told your job moved. If you want to keep it, move.

Decent ones for preexisting employees

Worrying about work or about finding another job. Sure would be nice to have the time or money they don't give you to have some fun.

None. Unless you are part of the klick

Sleeping. Then trying to enjoy their one weekend off a month to catch up on things that need to get done

Start looking for another job while you gain experience there.

Prepare scuba gear, it's a sink or swim mentality and the waters are deep and dangerous.

Relationships are everything.

Nothing hard. Just talk about relevant job experiences to answer the questions if possible. If you don't have relevant ones, life experience will work. For example, "Act with urgency. Can you name a time where you had to act quickly to a situation where immediate action and careful execution were required?"

Why would you want to work here

Honeywell is focused on becoming a software company when most of thier employees are not software experts. As sick you will get generic questions around agile and how it works. They have a hard time understanding how it would work in thier current environment and that creates difficult questions in the interview.

Interns are treated better than any employee. Don't fall for it.

Bounce around for to different departments for a few weeks. No one wants to bother training you because you won’t be there anyway

Non existent

Reasonably flexible. Must work overtime if you want your checks to be decent.

Flexible. Unpaid overtime and more unpaid overtime.

Not Flexible. Work the same hours weekly

You mean who is going to buy all of their buildings and equipment when they collapse? Not so sure. But I'm sure they'll get a few bucks for it. Not like the execs and CEO will be hurting any. The cash cow is past it's prime and the next step is to carve it into steaks.

Plant could be sold at any moment.

Somewhat competitive.

Honeywell has always strived for middle of the pack. Losing high talent players to competition. Even when immediate leaders know the value of an employee the painful and delayed response to proffer a competitive offer will cause the turnover

Honeywell pays on par with other companies

Terrible. Well below market value. You won't ever get a raise because executives want their bonuses and will buy foreign muscle cars. Your past experience or skill and education won't matter. You'll make the same as a kid out of high school/tech school. Worst company I've ever worked for.

Underpaid if you're salary. The work/home balance is heavily skewed towards work

Comparable but negotiate up front, there won't be any raises and good performance only leads to additional assignments.

Everything you do is pointless. Every hour you spend at Honeywell is a waste of your talent, skill and experience. You're better off elsewhere unless you need the paycheck to tide you over to a place where you are appreciated and treated with some respect.

60+ a week.

Around 55 a week, there was mold growing on the ceiling of my office.
