Pros

1. Good direct managers, but unfortunately all are controlled by SG higher management by fear, and he will not be leaving anytime soon. 2. I really cannot think of any apart from the standard benefits (annual leaves, medical claims) that almost every company is offering, if not more.

Cons

I am a current employee from the dept of HBS/HBT, working on BMS/Fire system. OP from Labour Day'21 mentioned alot of facts. Higher management "forced" everyone to sign a "voluntary unpaid leave e-form". Something what I have never imagined would happened in a MNC. Why want to implement the forced "voluntary unpaid leave e-form"? Highly likely because he already knew it was against the SG law to forced employees to take unpaid leaves, and that form was meant to protect himself in case someone whistleblow and MOM checks. And yet he still went ahead with it. Called it voluntary but said that a list of names of who signed/have no signed will be sent to himself. Why these actions if it is meant to be voluntary?? Maybe desperate to cut cost too for Covid-19, but as someone receiving a high pay/month, using this kind of method just meant he does not have the capabilities to come up with other solutions and unfit to be in that position. Paid highly to solve the issue but chose a solution that goes against the law. Labour Day'21 has mentioned alot but not everything. It is just the tip of the iceberg. Not sure about other dept but if u join as a engineer (regardless of title name), you will be wasting your time doing mindless stuff out of your jobscope and learning nothing ! Eg: Go to customer office to collect payment cheque, deliver back to office and end up with no time to do other work, only to be criticized for not managing time properly. Honeywell squeeze engineers dry and engineers does everything. Admin, sales, finance, budgeting, etc.

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.
