MIT Lincoln Laboratory Response

It is good that you have seen lots of cool projects and smart people. One aspect of the flat organizational structure here that is beneficial is that you are not far removed from someone with the expertise and ability to keep you from being lost. If that is not feasible for you, I hope that you will come to Hr for guidance. Thank you for your input.

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.
Cons
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.
