The flat organization is a management decision that has paid off over the years. The advantages include reduced administration and easier access to management. Continuous evaluations of salaries and total compensation show us to be reasonable positioned in the marketplace. As we do attract and retain a very high quality staff, it is sometimes the case the case that employees receive noteworthy raises when they leave. We have a high number of former employees who return, having found that there can be more than salary that contributes to a good working life. Your thoughts on rating managers are interesting and may be considered. We appreciate your insight and your ten years of service.

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.
