Pros
Smart technical people; pay above average for the area.
Cons
ABQ has a big crime problem. But that is the least of your worries. Ever since Honeywell (NTESS) took over management they have started running the place into the ground. No parking. Limited office spaces (you get to work in a mobile shed). They are cutting benefits and they don't want to pay to upgrade your computing equipment. Internet is slow. It is harder to get promoted because NTESS doesn't want to spend the money on good technical talent. Too much money is wasted on meaningless research like machine learning. Honeywell seems hellbent on turning this fine institution into the Kansas City Plant (Kansas City National Security Campus). Consider any other place for a career -- you will be happier.
