Was a great place to work 10 years ago but ever since NTESS (Honeywell) took over it sucks - Computer Engineer Sandia National Laboratories Employee Review

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.

Pros

- Great people -Learn out of school/ on the job that prepares you in no way school could - More practical applications of the theory learned in school

Cons

-Depends on group. There might be the expectation to be there early like everyone else. If your an early bird it does not matter.
