I left Honeywell a year ago and wanted to check if anyone is aware of the non compete clause and duration within PA/IA. Is it for one or two years? For execs, I know it is two years but not sure about other staff. I don't seem to be able find my offer letter.

Former Sr Director here from HPS. I also remember having some non compete with automation peers but I cannot recollect if it is 1 or 2 years. Anyone knows? Never know when we need it!
@f8 Directors at HON are equivalent to managers/senior managers at most other companies, they are not executives. You are fine.
I am going to a competitor. However it would be 1 year after I left Honeywell. Does anyone know what is the duration of non compete for a Director?
Unless you’re going to a direct competitor working on something where you developed patented IP on while at the company, there’s likely nothing enforceable that they will bother with. People leave to go to other similar companies all the time, and Honeywell hires folks from direct competitors regularly as well.
Not a lawyer, but can tell you in most cases they are not enforceable within the US. Unless you are c level you can likely relax.
