Pros

This is a very large division of a large company. There are lots of opportunities to do lots of different things, especially if you are an engineer. People are generally treated fairly and it is hard to complain about the 9/80 work week. Overtime is not generally expected, and Tucson is a good place to raise a family.

Cons

Advancement and raises are based as much on who you know and how long you have been in your current position than how competent you are. It is easy to get lost in the crowd if you don't know how to take control of your career. The city of Tucson can be oppressively hot in the summer and doesn't really have a lot of activities to keep childless people occupied.

Micromanagement and metrics rule

Pros

Fairly liberal in accomodating needs, good pay, flexible schedule, opportunities for growth, stable work, multiple locations so you can live almost anywhere in the greater Boston area and work here.

Cons

Matrix organization results in multiple bosses all wanting highlights, financial status, plans, metrics, and presentations. In fact the reporting and financial control process takes up more time than the work. Limited training due to overhead budget contraints, no formal new hire mentoring and training. Extremely limited professional development opportunities due to low overhead budgets. Every high performer is overloaded with work, and there skaters do nothing but are rewarded due to politics.

Pros

If you enjoy sitting at your desk killing time for months at a time, then this is the place for you. On several occasions, I asked co-workers "has anyone told you what we're suppose to be doing ?". The response was "No." Then, when something finally came down the line ... Read "Cons"

Cons

Very politically charged situation that has nothing to do with ability or accomplishments. If you brown nose then, even though you can't figure out why your C++ code won't compile on a Ada compiler, you can become a technical lead two years out of college. And if you do try to actually excel, you had better do it in less than 50 lines of code or your thick fix will set off an alarm and you'll be sent packing because you might jepordize the "truck load of money backing up to there door." And since Arizona is a "right to work" state, they can liable you and there is nothing that you can do about it. Where is 60 minutes when you need them.
