Pros
ARL was pivotal to my career development while I was a student at UT. I was able to take on projects that taught me valuable skills. Unfortunately, I can't get into more detail here. If students are hoping to form lasting relationships with their team and turn their part-time student work into a full-time job, ARL is also a great place to work. I received a full-time offer when I was about to graduate, and while I ultimately turned it down, I loved my team and would have been well prepared for the role because of my experiences. This position was also great for my financial situation. Not only did they offer a competitive salary for a part-time student job, but also tuition reimbursements. This allowed me to get ahead of my loans, and I was able to support myself better throughout the school year. My team was also very flexible about my work hours, which was super helpful when it came to projects/exams and required classes.
Cons
ARL is quite far from campus, and the bus is slow and unreliable. It's much easier to work here with a car, and you'll have to plan your school schedule in a way that allows for the commute. I would occasionally get "grunt work," but that is to be expected with a student position. I also felt that I might be stifled due to bureaucracy that comes with DoD contract work if I accepted a full-time offer, but I will only place my ratings in regards to my student job. The food and building are not great for ARL itself, but the Commons Cafe is good and a new building is being constructed.
Thank you for your feedback. ARL is like a family, we all work together and strive to continuously get better.
