Being a multi-national organization, there are many opportunities for career growth here. If hired, where would you like to take your career with Honeywell?
Your interviewer wants to know whether you're happy with the status quo and prefer to cruise along, day in and day out, or if you have ambitions and goals. If you have a career plan, they're curious how working at Honeywell fits into your plan.
"I saw a few leadership opportunities posted on your company website that seemed very interesting. Ultimately, I would like to work my way into a management role that offers travel opportunities. I am very interested in working for Honeywell because of the multiple growth opportunities present here, and I look forward to proving my capabilities to you."
"First, I would like to make a memorable impact on the initial role they would hire me to do. Once I feel that I've done that, I would be interested in working my way into a position within marketing and business branding with Honeywell."
If you haven't already, create a rough draft of a five-year career plan. Break it into attainable goals to help you achieve your goals. Offer some details of this vision to the interviewer, revealing the detail of your ambitions, with an understanding that sometimes these goals get modified along the way. Inquire about what kind of growth is available in the particular department you are interviewing with. Assure the interviewer that you desire a long-term opportunity with Honeywell by discussing the career path you would like.
If you are not sure what kind of growth opportunities are at Honeywell would be a good fit, then break down your goals, where you hope to be in five years, and that if you were hired at Honeywell, you'd want to stay with the company long term. Then ask them how likely they think Honeywell would be willing to collaborate in a mutually beneficial way for you to reach those goals.

I would like to start in customer success as this will give me a great insight into being the face of the company when dealing with the customers, and also being the customer's voice when dealing with the company. Moving forward I would like to be in a strong position to drive change and create strategies that would grow and take the company forward.
