MIT Lincoln Laboratory reviews

Thank you for your comments and recognition of some of the advantages of employment at Lincoln Laboratory. As a Federally Funded Research and Development Center we are more constrained than industry but we do maintain a very competitive and attractive total compensation system. It is true that we are not market driven, which can be a real advantage in a research environment. To some degree we may be impacted by government decisions but our management actively works to minimize impact of that on the work force. These are tradeoffs that each individual must make based on their needs and ambitions. Overall employment at the Lab can be very rewarding on a lot of levels.

Thank you for your insight. We do see a trend of change in mission areas and areas of emphasis. We are are confident that the strong work life balance and high quality workforce will be attractive to those with different skill sets. Your advice is well taken as the competitive workplace does change.
