Pros

I'm really struggling to find any. I would have said my teammates and direct report, but they're mostly gone now.

Cons

Horrible inter-office politics. Worst health insurance in the world. Completely disfunctional development environment with no room to innovate or make decisions affecting your work environment. Microsoft shop (heavy Azure). Clueless leadership who don't understand software development. Values social issues and progressivism over working products. HR and hiring are a nightmare. People are promoted and rewarded for behavior that would be considered fireable elsewhere. Company promotes competition between its own business units in a way that creates a toxic atmosphere instead of healthy competition. Security and Ops stuck in an old school mindset that is counterproductive to actual network security, stifles innovation, and are combative towards development teams. No input or control for developers over tools and software they have to use and support on a daily basis. Bureaucracy everywhere. SAFe agile. Poor work-life balance. Other offices in the company are run-down, sad, and possibly unsafe with mold and asbestos.

Pros

I really didn’t find any pros. This was by far the worst experience of my career.

Cons

Company is solely focused on hitting quarterly results by any means possible which limits any long term thinking or decision making. The culture is cut throat, the open floor plan limits the ability to connect with co-workers, allows for zero personal space and feels like working in a call center. Leadership has adopted the GE model from the 80’s and has no idea how to treat people. For example,I was called ‘f$%^ing’ stupid by a C-Suite leader and was present in many meetings involving Sr. Leaders cussing out junior employees. To say it was demoralizing would be an understatement. The company claims to be on the cutting edge of technology, but it’s all show, smoke and mirrors. This is a thermostat, scanner and floor fan company that cannot figure out how to innovate beyond adding Bluetooth or moving the power button. Software products are developed by people with absolutely no knowledge of operations and the turnover rate is beyond acceptable. Most of the positive reviews on this site are written by people who are new to Honeywell and in the honeymoon period. This is intentional and is an action in the onboarding process to make the company look better than it is. Reviews by tenured employees are generally poor and consistent with this feedback.
