Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Reviews

Pros

The Livermore lab is the greatest place I have ever worked in my 40-year working career. The Livermore lab is known as the “Smartest square mile on Earth”. Great salary, benefits, people, management and work life balance with their alternative work schedule. The site 200/campus is beautiful. I have only worked at the Lab for 1 year and my only regret is that I didn’t start working here 20 years ago. I work on the 8th Wonder of the World, the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The National Ignition Facility is the world’s largest and most energetic laser system. Continued NIF experiments will one day lead to Fusion. The diversified research the Livermore Lab does is world class, second to none. The Lab’s past, present and future research is so vital to our country and our national defense. As a veteran I am proud to serve my county once again, this time as a civilian.

Pros

The work environment at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is very safety conscious and allows for great work life balance. The opportunity to work on different projects throughout the lab is excellent, and team work accross disciplines is great.

Cons

Managment! The managment system at LLNL is confusing and lacks communication to employees when it comes to job performance, and advancement opportunities. You really need to be a loud advocate for yourself at the lab and push to persue any personal/professional growth.
