Honeywell Employee Reviews for Test Systems Engineer

"Honeywell is a global company that produces consumer electronic products such as thermostats, cooling fans and IoT devices. They are a well known, well established company that also has a heavy hand in the Aerospace industry. I am a Test Engineer in a small facility in Boyne City, MI, and maintain a very important position. I am currently in charge of developing and maintaining test equipment that validates and calibrates flight-critical airplane sensors. While I appreciate and respect the magnitude of the work and the company I work for, I do not agree with the corporate business practices. There is constant pressure to perform and pressure to make production improvements, however, my colleagues and I are not given the tools or capital to be successful. For example, a performance metric that I am held accountable for is productivity and quality improvement. To meet my metric goals, I need to use capital to replace legacy equipment. Unfortunately, my capital requests have been denied, thus we did not meet our productivity goals. The impression is that we must save the company money without spending any money. In response to our failure to meet our goals, our small manufacturing facility must now go on furlough for several weeks to bump up our bottom line."
