Great work culture with long but rewarding days - Aerospace Engineering Intern Honeywell Employee Review

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.

Honeywell offers solid benefits, good work life balance, and flexible time off with unlimited PTO, which is a great benefit. The company is large and well known, and there are opportunities to work on meaningful projects and support different parts of the business. Many employees are knowledgeable and collaborative, and depending on the team, it can be a good environment to grow and gain experience.

Employee experience can vary greatly depending on the leadership team you report to. In some areas, leadership style can be very ego driven and overly critical rather than focused on development and support. There were instances of dismissive communication, excessive scrutiny, and constant criticism that was not always constructive. At times the leadership approach felt undermining rather than supportive, which created a stressful and uncomfortable work environment. Team culture and direct manager relationships have a significant impact on the overall experience, and unfortunately not all leaders are strong people managers. Leadership communication style, consistency, and professionalism can make or break the employee experience, and that is an area where improvements are needed.
