Pros

Respected Fortune 500 company. Pay is decent, line of work can be interesting. Good health benefits. Flex Time was great! Tuition reimbursement is awesome (I was in a decent group with decent managers); they covered everything and never hesitated to do so even though my degree would eventually let me switch to another role (as long as it was something Honeywell was into it was supported). Good to have experience of how a big company operates and understand different processes. There's an effort to get everyone Six Sigma certified. Huge plus to have on a resume.

Cons

Lots of knowledge is stuck in the brains of old timers that are on the verge of retirement or have already retired. A better process is needed for information retention. Work is isolated to certain technologies and can be done without seeing the bigger picture of the product. It's nice to have visibility into what you're working on beyond its immediate purpose. Working in a big company can be slow and bureaucratic. If you want quick results and accountability (rather than deal with people who can keep their jobs and do little to nothing) then get on an active team with important projects or look elsewhere.

Pros

Some genuinely nice coworkers, that deserve better. Sometimes provide free food BUT consists of unhealthy options.

Cons

Extremely poor communication from management. Non existent most of time. When they do communicate, you are met w/ lies. Care about profit/numbers at the expense of employee health. Impossible production expectations without enough personnel. Management questions everyone but themselves. Equipment shortage and issues impact production as well. But blame is placed on production staff. Toxic coworkers that will get on the case of new workers for not being robots that operate non-stop. Depressing and loud environment, along w/ possible chemical exposure. Low pay and small raises. HR cares about business needs, not individuals. Stretching required every hour. Optional at first, but then management started enforcing. Computers and systems always slow and having issues. Language barrier. Diversity is great, but this can cause miscommunication w/ those who don't speak good English.
