I interviewed at Honeywell (Charlotte, NC) in Sep 2024
Interview
Honeywell has made it a practice to waste external candidates' time when they either know they are going with an internal candidate or don't actually intend to fill the role. I have been through their process several times and honestly feel I have dodged a bullet. I followed up with some internal contacts and in two cases they never filled the roles. Company is extermely ageist as well. Looking mainly for people under 30 to come in and then those individuals are eventually made redundant by the time they are 40. This way they can get rid of people before they become a protected class.
Process is unnecessarily long - several months. Screening, hiring manager, hiring manager's manager, functional leader, two HR interviews.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Honeywell (Rosemont, IL) in Feb 2025
Interview
Phone screen with the recruiter, video meeting with key onsite business partner, three separate video meetings with members of the team from different office locations, and final interview with executive. Correspondence was very quick until it came to following final interview.
Recruiter reached out from LinkedIn. Had a 30min call. 3 panel interviews with SMEs, cross functional peers (9 people - ~3hrs), HM interview. Got a decline saying that they decided to fill the position internally.

Question 1
Example of Program Management that I found most challenging.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Honeywell (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Combination of 1:1 and 1:2 virtual interviews with peers, hiring manager and related stakeholders. Everyone was very warm and accommodating on a personal level. They use a personality screening test of some kind which is not unusual. But it is accompanied by a very poorly written, and demanding sounding email requiring the applicant to drop everything and set aside a few hours for this test. Very off putting and potentially telling of corporate culture.
I ultimately self-cancelled the interview process after deciding I wasn't a fit with the senior leader's philosophy on the work.

Question 1
Softball stuff - tell me about your background; tell me about the work you've done.
