Pros

I honestly can't find a plus for this company.

Cons

Everyone is overworked and not getting paid for overtime, management kept telling the team the project has no money but requires us to work extra hours. The unlimited vacation is a joke, you get crucified for taking too many days off. There's fear in this new culture that if you are an underperformer you will not have a project to work on and you will be let go. It's also top heavy, too many people managing projects and not enough people doing real work. Management demand is also unrealistic, they push you to deliver the products but won't give you resources or time to complete it. The benefit package (medical, dental, vision) is nothing to brag about, you pay a lot for a family plan although the company is self-insured. There's also no remote work policy.

Pros

- The people are knowledgeable and friendly, most older people are eager and willing to help. - UOP management still cares about employees - Great opportunities to learn - There is a lot of focus on job training and getting new people up to speed - Many opportunities to get involved (engineering, research, tech service, field service, etc) - Great way to start a career - Good 401(k) - 75% contribution to the first 8%, low cost options available - Challenging work, but there is still a good work-life balance for most people - Puts time and resources in developing tools to assist engineers (although the suspicion by most is that the engineers are training tools to do their jobs for them) - Honeywell is intent on growing offices in developing regions and more or less letting American offices shrink via attrition (massive RIFs in US but added positions elsewhere) - Unlimited vacation (also a negative, see below)

Cons

- Benefits used to be competitive but every year they keep taking things away. Oil companies blow UOP out of the water in terms of benefits/pay. - As of 2017 Honeywell no longer allows working from home, even if you live more than 2 hours away and the only site within those 2 hours is not even a PMT site. - The pension is no longer available for new hires, and existing employees were capped at their 2014 salary - Have to pay our own dental - Furloughs, RIFs and cost cutting even when times were good for UOP - they are tied to Honeywell performance, so there's no incentive to perform - Moral is extremely low at all levels, even management - No longer allow business class travel, even for flights to Asia - but we still bill the customers a business class rate for travel allowance - Sales is now driving the company and not the technology or innovation - Honeywell wants to focus on systems and not engineers - Vacation is no longer guaranteed and is completely subject to the whims of who you report to.

Pros

The work is challenging and for the most part, the people are really great. Good family work/life balance. Most managers allow flex-time schedules which is a huge benefit.

Cons

The pay for newer technicians (<10 years) is extremely below the market pay scales. There are no longer pension plans, 401K match is a pathetic .375% match up to 8% of you contributions for the first 6 years, and the benefits keep eroding every year. Quality of life is actually decreasing due to no raises and several unpaid furloughs. Factor that in with the terrible morale due to layoffs, unpaid furloughs, promotion freezes, outsource everything they possibly can (at the expense of quality) and rumors of the company getting sold..... it is not a great place.
