I'm interviewing for an engineer position at a subcontractor that relies a lot on Honeywell for contracts. What are my chances of not being laid off in the next 18 months if I take the position?

50 percent sooner, 50 percent later
How do I volunteer? I applied to be ICE agent and pay is better then my job at Honeywell. They have benefits and it seems like layoff proof.
Honeywell T&Cs are like 180 to 270 days. So you would work for a company with 1 customer that waits 9 months to pay the invoice… maybe.. if nothing broke in SAP ( happens constantly).
Any entity or person should not allow themselves to be in a position to rely on HW.
Normally I would recommend exploring what programs or contacts you will be supporting, but we are discussing a company that has a track record of erratic behavior based on what side of the bed those holding the strings wake up on.
Take the job and continue to watch the market. Keep in mind having HW on your resume could influence your marketability in the future (early career less so).
I’m mechanical and have recruiters contact me weekly, so there are plenty of openings for the experienced.
I left HW years ago and am very familiar with what other companies that I interface with think about engineers supporting HW long term. I’m just here to enjoy the s-show.
@af Nah, grey or black
I’d say your chances are periwinkle
Strictly for the optionless.
I work in Clearwater and I'm very worried
I would steer clear of anything having to do with Honeywell. If you are a new or young engineer enlist in the military
