Most Commented

  • 401K Plan(72 comments)

    No complaints with the 401k plan

  • Vacation & Paid Time Off(38 comments)

    Government contractor so vacation and sick leave is very rigidly defined. LLNL has recently updated their policy so that you start accruing more vacation at 3, 5, 7, 10 years and beyond (used to just be at 5, 10, 20 years).

  • Health Insurance(36 comments)

    LLNL keeps my premiums pretty low.

Generous 401K match. Good vacation time.

Current Staff Scientist in Livermore, CA, California

6% 401k matching with 3.5% bonus. Dental and vision health care. 15 days PTO and so many sick days I haven’t used even a quarter

Current Mechanical Engineer in Livermore, CA, California

Best thing is the 401K: match up to 6% and then automatically the Lab contributes 3.5%. Also, LLNL contributes quite a lot to health, dental, vision, etc. such that my monthly premiums are quite low. Worst thing is not really unique to LLNL, just California healthcare can be frustrating at times.

Consider their good 401k plan when reviewing your overall package

The benefits are standard across the company and are generally pretty good. My only complaint is the lack of bonus structure.

No complaints, but it's hard to get into! Which isn't a bad thing.

Company match on the 401k, good dental and medical, and paid sick leave are great.

Current Employee

Compensation is salary only. No meaningful bonuses or other perks. Good 401k, 3 weeks vacation to start, 12 sick days per year and 12 paid holidays

Current Training Manager in Livermore, CA, California

The Lab now updated it's benefits to have a floating holiday and increased vacation accrual so that now the first jump to increased vacation accruals is now after 3 years of service from the former 10 years of service. Both of these are positive improvements to an already excellent benefits package!

ICYMI: On Dec. 5, a team at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach this milestone, also known as scientific energy breakeven, meaning it produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it. This first-of-its-kind feat will provide unprecedented capability to support NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship Program and will provide invaluable insights into the prospects of clean fusion energy, which would be a game-changer for efforts to achieve President Biden’s goal of a net-zero carbon economy.
