"I've worked for Southwest Research Institute for over 10 years. There is quite a variety of technology and careers at SwRI. With more than 10 technical divisions, each division is really like its own company. For instance, the Automotive Divisions (2 divisions) do more standardized testing of engines/lubricants, whereas the space sciences division has more large government contracts. The corporate culture within each division is unique. This is a good place to get valuable experience!"
