Organization has great benefits and affiliation with Stanford University is a great plus. SLAC has many great minds and researchers working on cutting edge technology.

Change is on the horizon to improve the overall work culture by bringing new senior leaders that are more innovative and team oriented in their approach.

Morale is a concern due to the budgetary concerns that consistently leads to layoffs. Management needs to improve their understanding of managing performance.
