Pros

Salary is acceptable. Projects I've worked on have been multi-disciplinary, technically challenging, and overall interesting to work on.

Cons

The leadership is tanking this company. I never knew this level of low morale was even possible. Most attribute it to the insatiable greed of the outgoing CEO. He is trying to ensure his retirement comfort through the furloughs, layoffs, reduction in benefits, salary freezes, etc., that have been going on for years now. The company is doing well, but he is milking every dollar for the bottom line he can with these unsustainable hardships on the employees. I can't imagine there has ever been a company that has cared less about their employees. Also, management cares more about the number of overtime hours you put in, rather than any output of value or quality of work. This contributes to a terrible work culture and general lack of work-life balance.

Pros

The one-star reviews are understandably emotional and reactive. I give it 3 stars because it still has a ton of extremely knowledgeable and capable engineers, scientists, and technicians. There are a lot of great people here who make work more enjoyable. The company has a robust history as an industry leading liscensor of refining technology. It is not burning to the ground and will rebound as the oil market picks up.

Cons

However, it likely won't return to its former excellence. Misguided cost savings initiatives are damaging the quality of service, engineering, and likely R&D. Poor compensation, overworking employees, and lay-offs are degrading the depth of experience, especially as lots of older employees will be retiring along with their extensive experience. Field advisors are being put in charge of commissioning projects with very little experience because nobody sticks around long enough. Management only shows concern for the short-term profits for shareholders. Employees have been asked to shoulder all the burden of trying to meet absurd revenue targets, while overall the company has still been very profitable. It is a result of Honeywell trying to squeeze everything it can out of the company; when it stops being profitable UOP will likely be divested.

Pros

Good first job. Lots of room for advancement.

Cons

Declining company morale. Riffs/furloughs/etc cause the talented people to leave and go to the competitors.
