Brookhaven National Laboratory reviews

There is a genuine sense of mission and purpose that encourages a strong sense of belonging (but, not entitlement!) at BNL. This has produced a very natural environment for people to work together. I find it quite remarkable, especially since this happens horizontally and vertically across all job types WITHOUT any silly sensitivity training or so on. When people need something, they just ask, and in my experience, they are almost always given or steered toward the help they need, without favors or drama or penalties. People there really do feel empowered and valued, and safe in depending on each other and the institution. Productivity at BNL is quite high, and I have seen many cases where this follows the attitude of cooperation, which- missing at other places grinds projects to dust.

Brookhaven National Lab has an open and friendly atmosphere, with good communication between employees and management. The vacation and salary packages are generous. Potential for career advancement is encouraging.
