      Pros

      I've worked at LBL for about 1.5 years as a remote software developer. So far, it has been a great experience. My managers have been very supportive, and I am given a fair amount of autonomy (which help mitigate burnout). I realized experiences in other departments may vary, but the Lab as whole seems very focused on supporting its employees. The benefits are decent: - Health insurance is comparable to other large organizations I've worked at. - 3 weeks paid vacation. - Vested in University of California after 5 years or you have the option of 401k.

      Cons

      It is a bit difficult to advance. Not a lot of merit based raises.

      Pros

      Opportunity to work on impactful scientific and engineering projects that support research and innovation. Exposure to multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, scientists, technicians, and project managers. Strong focus on safety, quality, and technical excellence. Good work-life balance and professional development opportunities. Ability to contribute to long-term projects with significant national and scientific importance.

      Cons

      Large organizations can have multiple layers of review and approval, which may slow decision-making. Processes and documentation requirements can be extensive, especially for safety and compliance purposes. Project priorities can shift based on funding and organizational needs, requiring flexibility and adaptability.
