Options for Flexible schedule, and career growth opportunities

Slow peace. Long clearance process. Pay isn’t very competitive

Very interesting/unique work and a terrific place to learn. Management will invest in employees by offering opportunities to take classes or get advanced degrees. The engineering departments are generally low stress and it really feels like management and your fellow employees want to see you succeed. Very good job security and plenty of opportunities to explore different engineering groups within the Lab.

The rigorous systems engineering approach taken by many engineering divisions adds a lot of complexity to otherwise simple projects. There is a near zero tolerance for risk: the technical analysis, reviews, and permitting required before getting nearly any task done is always gratuitous, but that is almost always factored into a given deadline.

Great benefits, great people and great opportunities.

Shift work and long hours from time to time

Excellent work life balance Solid 401k match Lots of opportunities for internal movement / promotions

Pace of work is slow Lots of paperwork Food options arent the greatest No target bonus % or additional compensation

Work culture, work/life balance, and opportunities for career development.

Not the most competitive pay and training is mostly on-the-job (luckily people are always willing to help get you an answer though)
