Time off during holidays

Frequent layoffs
Good products to sell high pay but not customer focused
Territory Sales Manager (Current Employee) – South West Ontario – 14 April 2018
Honeywell is recognized and opens up doors when cold calling. the product is innovative and superior to others in the market. however, the lack of internal support makes it extremely difficult to service customers. for example the wait times and service received when calling customer service.
A Company in Chaos
anonymous (Current Employee) – anonymous – 6 April 2018
Honeywell culture can be summarized as a business that tries radical ideas without much forethought on long term strategies. this can include Employee retention, product offerings, standards and policies
The company has given me a lot o learning experience with new technologies

fun place to work
Account Associate (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 20 March 2018
A day at Honeywell, start at 8 and work till 3:30 and had 15-30 minute lunch no breaks.
Go downstairs and pick up any booklets that need to be prepped and scanned.
worked till 12 had lunch. Went back downstairs for more work.
Cleaned back stock room and worked on old files.
Had a lot of fun listening to the IT men talk and joke around and involve me sometimes in their topic. A women's point of view. Very nice men to know.
Well when 3:30 came around said good night to every one and went home. This was a day at Honeywell. I love routine and doing the same thing everyday. I really enjoy that.

Big Company, Moves Slow
Continuing Services Manager (Former Employee) – North Vancouver, BC – 15 March 2018
This place can be a great place to work or it can be problematic. I was there during the difficult years when the stock price was dropping and management all the way to the top were losing their heads. In three years I had 6 managers. Depends on the time and who your manager is. Otherwise, good processes.
Foreman for 2 yrs
Journeyman Electrician (Former Employee) – Saskatoon – 28 February 2018
Enjoy boating learned lots about plc's. I am a self starter and took charge of the projects , buying material, job layout , job meetings.best part was finishing job under budget, usually received bonuses at christmas
Pros
Fishing trips
Cons
Dislike portages
Good place to for team work
PA Program Manager (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 27 February 2018
Learned a lot while having fun working with various functions resolving issues and keep moving the projects forward.
The place has changed a lot since the COM DEV buyout by Honeywell. All the major leaders have left the company and the place is in chaos.

good environment

very long hours
Building Systems division
Facility Manager (Former Employee) – Ontario – 26 February 2018
Large technology company has issues with divisions that aren't leading the way financially or contained within the core business. This leads to lack of support and overall lack of understanding of the specific needs of the business.
family type ambiance, small group
Engineer (Former Employee) – Poway, CA – 21 February 2018
when I started to work for Street Smart Technology in december 1999, our company is a division of Ademco which is a division of
Pittway corporation. In 2000, Pittway was acquired by Honeywell, and it took about 5 years for Honeywell to implement its policy and management style.
So I can say I have worked about 5 years under small company environment and 12 years under large corporation management.
I can say both environments have its bad and good aspects.
Working for a Fortune 100 company is prestigious, projects are distributed globally.
Working for a small company is also exciting technically, I can feel and see results of my jobs.

With the department I worked for, the work/life balance was excellent. It was very flexible. I found their communication inadequate and unprofessional at times.
Satisfactory differs from one department to another .

A company in decline
Test Lead Engineer (Senior Systems Engineer) (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 11 January 2018
Gloomy environment as the company is slowly declining.
High levels of stress. Long hours.
Regular layoffs in both the U.S and Canada for the last three years. More to come.
Benefits are being rescinded as the company loses money and jobs.
Not chance of advancement as jobs are disappearing.
