Business Outlook
Pros
Working on cutting edge science, able to have a family work life balance, and being part of Stanford University are the best parts about working at SLAC. If you are a scientist, SLAC is heaven!
Cons
The lab operates inefficiently due to resistance to change. The pure research environment is at least 15 years behind the private industry. The diversity at SLAC includes predominately white and European male men. Inferior scientists are rarely laid-off, same as inferior managers. Very few managers on big projects are decent in management, so there are few options for employees.
