Pros

- Work with smart people - Brand name on your resume - Compensation at market rate when you start

Cons

- Systemic lack of accountability, ownership, and career growth across the different businesses unless you are at VP, GM, or above - Furloughs, pay cuts, re-orgs, and title changes are infamously part of Honeywell's "MOS" year after year - Approx 30% voluntary attrition within 2 years and 15-20% within 1 year across multiple functions (especially product management, sales, marketing, customer experience...engineers and production tend to be RIF/RIM instead of leaving voluntarily) - Outside of a high-level onboarding at HQ, you and your team will likely not receive training, education, or tools as your budget keeps getting cut - Annual raises above 3% for even the most stellar employee, totally unheard of. Average raise without a job promotion is 1-2%. The 8 core behaviors are subjective performance metrics and the vehicle that Honeywell uses to downgrade your annual bonus because each department does not get a decent budget for bonus or merit. - Run down offices. Free coffee not provided. - Many more, which layoff.com does a good job recording while also providing endless entertainment

Pros

The big highlight of my internship has definitely been the team I've been surrounded by. Everyone, including my mentor, boss, coworkers, people from other teams, etc., has been extremely welcoming and willing to help me throughout my entire internship. The project work as an R&D intern was amazing, and I was able to gather an incredible amount of knowledge as a summer intern.

Cons

Although I was provided company housing at my Raleigh, NC location, the housing did not feel safe. Last summer, one of the interns witnessed someone get stabbed to death outside her apartment (which is where I am at now) and had to take several weeks off work due to being scared of leaving her housing. The other interns at this location, while they had not watched it, had to live with that stipulation for the rest of the summer. At the end of the summer, a letter had been written by this intern, as well as other interns leaving reviews, saying that no intern should be put in that housing again. However, this year, I was put in that housing, to the disapproval of my coworkers. It's disappointing that such a great work experience is harbored by my poor provided housing experience, and it will most likely cause me to caution people about applying to Honeywell. While a murder can happen anywhere, I feel as though it was negligent to put interns, many of which are not familiar with the area, in a neighborhood that has a bit of a previous track record.
