1) Interview with Recruiter 2) Interview with Hiring Manager 3) Critical Reasoning Test (timed) 4) Behavioral Assessments The two required tests took an enormous amount of effort to study and prepare for, and it consumed my entire weekend. Sure, I could have winged it instead of spending the weekend hidden in my office away from my family, but nobody reasonable who wants the position would do that, especially with the advice I received from the recruiter urging me to prepare. After I took the tests, I received an automated message stating that I had not yet taken the tests. Naturally I was concerned all my effort had been wasted, so I immediately followed up with the recruiter. I called, I emailed, I texted (I was very professional, and I was treading lightly, and somehow this felt like another test). Still, I received ZERO communication - total radio silence - a classic corporate ghosting. Imagine what it is like wondering if they even received your test answers for an entire month, after all that work and expense, when you're unable to get any response whatsoever. Did I do so badly they threw me out of the interview process? Surely that must be it. But maybe they never got my test answers... maybe this, maybe that, maybe... I ultimately concluded that the internal recruiter I was working with has horrible communication skills, and this makes Honeywell appear as a typical cold mega corporation with little to no interest in the human on the other side of the recruiting process. A month went by without receiving any feedback after taking an entire weekend to study for the two mandatory tests, and after paying $89 for the prep website that the recruiter recommended. Pro tip: you should never have to pay a dime to interview, anywhere, ever. And yes, paying was my choice, but again, who takes tests without doing the recommended prep? The two websites the recruiter recommended had only a handful of free test questions, certainly not enough to feel prepared. Plus, the recruiter was very candid about there being other candidates, and that my scores would be measured against theirs which would be factored into the hiring decision. So of course you’re going to pay for the test prep website, because you know the other candidates will. Anyway, it was only after I escalated to the hiring manager and copied the recruiter that I finally heard back a month after taking the tests. To my relief, I learned that I scored extremely high on the critical reasoning test and 5/5 on the “personality” test, and the recruiter told me this is a good indicator I would be an ideal compliant Honeywell drone. Great. I was told the hiring manager was still very interested. Weird way of showing it, but great. She said she would check in after things settled down due to some internal restructuring. Um, OK. Then, ZERO communication for months. I sent an email, another email, another email, and I never received even a courtesy response. It has now been 4 months since I wasted my time and money on this pointless and frustrating interview process. I've seen similar roles posted since at Honeywell, and not a peep from anyone reaching out to a prequalified candidate. This poor treatment of candidates is extremely unprofessional, and what's worse is I understand they made 2 or 3 others run the same gauntlet for the same role. Those tests should only be administered to final candidates, not early in the interview process as some sort of corporate filter. It’s disrespectful to ask interviewees to spend that much effort just to be considered to enter the interview process. It means the company is too lazy to put in the work to narrow down the candidates and instead they rely on the superstition that these tests will weed out the undesirables. Maybe Honeywell owns the test prep website, because otherwise I can't quite figure out why they would waste everyone's time and give such a poor impression which I won't soon forget. So, if your dream job is to be assimilated as Senior Seat Moistener Drone #XJ-359 in Sector G in your gray windowless cubicle at a massive bureaucratic organization where they would just as soon liquify you for the value of your chemical elements, Honeywell may be the place for you.
