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

I really didn’t find any pros. This was by far the worst experience of my career.

Cons

Company is solely focused on hitting quarterly results by any means possible which limits any long term thinking or decision making. The culture is cut throat, the open floor plan limits the ability to connect with co-workers, allows for zero personal space and feels like working in a call center. Leadership has adopted the GE model from the 80’s and has no idea how to treat people. For example,I was called ‘f$%^ing’ stupid by a C-Suite leader and was present in many meetings involving Sr. Leaders cussing out junior employees. To say it was demoralizing would be an understatement. The company claims to be on the cutting edge of technology, but it’s all show, smoke and mirrors. This is a thermostat, scanner and floor fan company that cannot figure out how to innovate beyond adding Bluetooth or moving the power button. Software products are developed by people with absolutely no knowledge of operations and the turnover rate is beyond acceptable. Most of the positive reviews on this site are written by people who are new to Honeywell and in the honeymoon period. This is intentional and is an action in the onboarding process to make the company look better than it is. Reviews by tenured employees are generally poor and consistent with this feedback.
