SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Good people, great benefits, interesting work, incompetent senior managment."

"A quasi-government entity operated by Stanford University. Most senior management completely clueless."

"Great place to learn for entry level or early career applicants. More of an academic organization that emphasize breakthrough discoveries and experiments. Culture is laid back but on time delivery is important to meet the needs of physicists experiments. Retirement, tuition assistance programs benefits are great in lieu of competitive market pay. Constructive criticism: not a place to growing an engineering career."

"I have worked in and around SLAC for 4 years, and have great respect for the research being done there. At times, the constraints feel limiting --but it is groundbreaking research."

"Not ready to write a review ."

"No special comments. The company is overall well."

"SLAC is a wonderful place if your only interest is science. Great things are going on there in that field, however, being government funded the state of the economy drastically impacts how SLAC operates. The priority for the money is for the science and not for the infrastructure or technologies needed to keep up with the rest of the world. The lab is in need of a true leader who can lead them to compete with other science labs."

"I've worked for SLAC National Lab for two summers and I had an amazing time. During the two summers I had 3 mentors who were very helpful and easy to get along with. The work environment is very relaxing. People here are more focused on furthering science than personal status. I've met few Nobel Prize winners and all of them introduced them self just with their first names."
