Pros

Job Security (If permanent associate) Very good and cheap Health Benifits Pays overtime and have the oppurtunity to work it. 401k and Pension Plan. 1 weeks off for Shutdown during July 4th and Christmas Holidays plus normal Vacation time.

Cons

Communication Between departments is not very good Things can get bogged down in planning and never get accomplished Pay is really low for starting employees and pay increases very slow. You can not start a career and end one here based on Pay. Better to come to once you have experience. You have to Clock in and Out every day. Schedule is very rigid. Lot of pressure on instant solutions rather than doing things correctly. Once you are at office you are there till the day is over. Not much chance for advancment.

Pros

Honda R&D has a GREAT co-op program. Well, "had" a great co-op program. Word has it that they've ditched it in this automotive market downturn. I had a great experience there and learned a lot about mechanical engineering.

Cons

The co-op program is now gone. If they reinstate it, I would HIGHLY recommend applying. But the location is terrible. Ohio? C'mon.

Pros

Honda is an amazing company to work for. You can learn a lot from the expertise of those above you, and there is much to learn that you can either use at Honda or at another company to bring real value to their organization. The people are generally very supportive and see each other as "teammates" instead of opponents. This is why such quality product comes from this R&D center.

Cons

The pay is pretty marginal (even though they claim that it is competitive). Growth can seem slow if you don't embody exactly what your superiors want, but they don't make what they want very clear necessarily. Work can sometimes be very overwhelming, and if it weren't for the paid overtime, the high expectations that are put on the associates could never be met.
