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
