Anyone have an opinion on HCE? I hear the leadership is the worst starting right from the top. Also hear the products are all not tested well and Forge is a mess, Corporate and SBGs are being bullied into using it by the HCE president.
There's lofty financial plans with no foundation with most of the revenue coming from bullying(stealing from) internal customers.
Also hear nobody wants to work for Que-en Dallara and hence the churn in such a pivotal business.

they call themselves get-the-stuff-done team, because they couldn’t get stuff done properly
It’s been my experience that they take old product code based, that are themselves buggy and poorly architected, slap a new name and UI on it, and declare victory. Old defect reports magically become obsolete. Then slap some products together with minimal integration, call it a Suite, and give the executives a bonus. If you want to really improve quality and innovate, you have to be willing to invest in new products from the ground up. Repackaged code that dates back to the 90s just doesn’t cut it.
Honeywell is fundamentally not capable of comprehending the business cases that Forge enables. There is so many good pieces in it that could save Honeywell a ton. But cost savings are not an allowed business case in this company. That's why nothing, except for making cheaper, and c-appier, products gets promoted.
I received some Honeywell connected products free as incentives for massive unpaid overtime put in to deliver an aero product. The devices were so inferior to competition I threw them away. Don’t be like me and waste time opening the box. Now I can’t get honeywell home to stop emailing me.
Agree !!! The mess was called sentience, and renamed to improve code quality and architecture ... Driven by a pure genius, ...
I took an interview there and RAN away. They were a MESS and it was clear it stayed at the top
Agree with everything you said I'm a former HCE employee. I quit only because of senior leadership.
Current HCE employee here - absolutely true.
We built Forge on a time line not on usability. Had to ship not ready to ship.
