Once a leader in Buliding Controls, now just hanging on. - Systems Engineer Honeywell Employee Review

I worked for this company for 28 years. Wish I would have left earlier. They have just about destroyed their building controls ACS division, starting with the dissolving of the R&D department in Arlington heights. With Kevin Gilligan at the lead, they further wiped out the service dept, and never recovered. With No R&D, and buying anyone they can get their hands on to make up for it, they have not really produced ANYTHING in the building controls industry worth a good wet fart. Their motto in the 80s were "Our people are our most valuable asset", but with Cote pulling down ungodly bonuses while they cut back more and more on the little guys pay and benefits, the motto should be changed to "Our stockholders are our most valuable asset". The ACS division is so worried about anyone taking the little share of market they have left, that they lock down their controls as tight as possible to make it as hard as hell for other companies to take over their jobs, which are very poorly maintained and serviced. My feelings on this company: the ACS division of Honeywell is a poor choice for anyone looking for building automation. There are many companies out there that will outperform this dying dinosaur hands down, and at a much better price.
