Just out of curiosity, what do Honeywell employees - and Honeywell customers, potential customers, and competition - feel about Honeywell Connected Enterprises and Honeywell's sudden push to develop and sell software for various industries? Being asked to take a look at some opportunities in various product lines - and with software, that means moving to Atlanta.

Big SCAM.
Just look at the leadership CV, they can barely spell technology and strategy.
I worked with the Connected & Voice products for 5 years along with Forge among other solutions. Honeywell is very bad at software, they're an old industrial company who's business model, attitudes and culture are based on the following: produce widgets in factories, have salesmen sell them and managers optimize the factories. This doesn't work with software but they keep trying to treat software development and support like producing factory widgets and our products keep getting worse as a result.
It’s called Forge for a reason. It’s all a forgery and smoke and mirrors.
Connected as a scam to bring more H1B and place their specific caste from the village. We have countless examples of people not qualified hired at VP level that just bring more of their caste. Well known just pay attention…
The sudden push you refer to happened 5 years ago. By any of the original projections, connected anything can be considered a failure. Current goals are much more modest and will also not be met.
I echo similar sentiments. There is really no longer Honeywell connected, first the ‘power of connected’ was gone, then the CEO, they have slashed sales and people (direct knowledge of those exits) and like other poster said they just try land grabs for other SBG’s numbers.
Something like this was never going to work at Honeywell, they would have had to change too much culturally to become a connect company rather than just a simple dirty industrial. Oh and invest! People and products. Tell me, really, if you had the choice working in a connected type environment and you had a choice of companies why would you pick Honeywell? So few are going to and they are either at the top of the food chain for the $$ or coming fresh on a visa from the place tha Honeywell ideally wanted everything done from… As an Ex HBT I stopped caring about connected once is saw that even Honeywell didn’t really care.
Good luck to customers.
Connected does not developed anything on its own, instead they pilfer other products lines' products and its revenues if that product has anything related to connectivity
P&L discussions during PAC meetings show specific line items within that product line can no longer be claimed as it is diverted to the Connect enterprise
As someone already mentioned, the ceo of connected jumped shipped as the smoke and mirror started to lose its illusion
The worst life decision anyone can make would be to join Honeywell voluntarily. Me, I was acquired via M & A and am leaving soon.....
president/champion fled to another
Org is mostly h1b visa holders backed up by armies in india.
If you dont speak hindi (and have the right caste) you wont advance.
Read up on GE predix and what happened there.. same people, same open source software, same pyramid scheme.
That sounds fishy.
