Brookhaven National Laboratory

Is this your company?

It's still working for the Government even though my paychecks don't say DOE. - Systems Administrator Brookhaven National Laboratory Employee Review

Pros

Great Benefits, and work place policies are enforced. Many jobs available in different fields.

Cons

Government mentality. Cost savings rarely a consideration when doing things. Attitude of "That's the way we've always done it." is present everywhere and sometimes a detriment to what you are trying to accomplish. No one will ever admit wrong, or mistakes in judgement, even if it means living with less than desireable consequences. Technically a government contractor that is subject to government stipulations as well (ie payroll freeze)

Pros

Everyone here is great to work with. Work is interesting.

Cons

Middle of nowhere, takes almost a full lunch break to just get anywhere. Some Managers are hired only for their experience in the field and not how they can/would manage staff. Still annoyed about getting the covid jab to keep my job. It was pointless and got sick anyway 3 weeks later. No apologies or acknowledgment for any wrong doing will ever be made.
