Sandia National Laboratories Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"There are many outstanding scientists and engineers at Sandia and the compensation is excellent for early-career professionals. However, the current funding uncertainty has made efficient work impossible for scientists and strategic planning intractable for management. Funding and hiring decisions are seemingly made at random in areas where 'soft money' is the primary funding source.On the other hand, scientists and engineers in areas with stable year-to-year funding are generally happy and at ease. The reality is that the environment and workplace culture are highly variable across Sandia. Some groups are poisonous, while others run like clockwork. It really just depends on who you work with and whether your area is supported by upper management."
