Although you are no longer at the Laboratory,it is pleasing to see that your experience was positive. We work hard to maintain positive work-life balance and try to accommodate the needs of individuals when possible. The opportunity to work with a concentration of committed, highly trained people is one of the big reasons that people cite for coming to work at Lincoln Laboratory. The focus on applied science and engineering is one of the strengths that we bring to providing solutions to our sponsors. While there are some necessary restrictions for security purposes, we do encourage staff to participate in professional societies and to publish in media that meet requirements. Although security considerations are a big part of life at the Laboratory, we are able to provide opportunity for active exchange of information and host a number of technology presentations annually.

Vantaggi

It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

Svantaggi

Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

Vantaggi

Worked with some of the smartest people I’ve ever known. Great opportunities to learn from your coworkers and an atmosphere that encourages learning, including a well-run technical education program. Fabulous support staff and technicians that can get seemingly impossible things done quickly. Great resources and lab spaces (if a bit dated). The nature of the work encourages good work/life balance. Fantastic benefits (though the pay is low).

Svantaggi

No/limited opportunities for advancement makes this a hard place to work mid-career. Good engineers are promoted to be mediocre managers. Every program is under-funded, under-staffed, and over schedule. Bad managers are shuffled around but rarely fired.
