wrecked by Honeywell - stay away
Pros
My coworkers have been great, which is one reason I've been there a long time. The work has always been interesting, and you feel like you're really helping the end customer.
Cons
Honeywell's acquisition of the business has destroyed a very profitable, wonderful place to work. The Monroeville manufacturing plant is closing down, with all work there being sent to Mexico or China. This, after being told they could achieve "Bronze" status under the Honeywell umbrella, which they worked toward for over a year. It was all a lie, and Honeywell simply did the same thing here as at their other acquired facilities - close them, or decimate them - to cut costs. Engineering has been divided into groups distributed throughout the world, with no common tools, goals, management, or interests. Accounts payable is now in India, with terms extended out to Net 90, 180, 270, or even 365 days - what a way to treat your suppliers. Customer service has gone to Romania - what a way to treat your customers. Half of the workforce is gone, with more leaving every week, including key people from every department. Quality now takes a back seat to cost, schedule, and management politics. Actually, quality isn't even on the bus anymore. It's a matter of time before our biggest customers cry out about it. Health care benefits have plummeted while cost have skyrocketed, but the CEO says it's OK because it's all legal under Obamacare. Many people are expected to work 16 hours a day so they can support teams in China. The Company preaches about integrity, but does not live by it.
