Not an Engineering role - Very little gained from 3 years working with LCLS group. - Science and Engineering Asc SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Employee Review
Poor on boarding experience that lasted over 8 months.
Management is lacking direction, planning, and is not flexible at all.
Very little engineering, mostly non-technical manual labor.
Didn't learn anything new to advance my career.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We regret that your experience at SLAC was not more positive. We recognize the settling in period can be longer for some employees at the lab. We are looking at improvements we can make, including establishing consistency in the onboarding process to allow new employees to be effective in their jobs quicker. We have also recently renewed our focus on lab culture by defining our commitment to a respectful workplace and the behaviors that support it.

The opportunity to contribute to high-impact scientific research while collaborating with a dedicated, intelligent team was truly rewarding.
Cons
Workload consistently increased while resources simultaneously diminished, creating a lack of backup personnel for key roles, and significant operational silos between departments hindered cross-functional collaboration.
