MIT Lincoln Laboratory Response
12y
Thank you for your comments. The Laboratory effort to be an inclusive and open environment is continuing. While we are pleased to have accomplished a lot, we consider this an ongoing, core part of our organization. We hope that all employees take advantage of the many educational and learning opportunities that exist, including support for formal education and frequent technical and general interest presentations. The series of lunchtime multicultural music and dance presentations will be continuing. Weekly seasonal farmers markets have been a big hit (really good, fresh corn on the cob). Community outreach including veterans causes and support for the Pan Mass Challenge are among our efforts. The Laboratory is supportive of the formation of employee interest groups and encourages interested employees to work with our Diversity and Inclusion staff to investigate possibilities

Pros

It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

Pros

Historically a very stable job, interesting work, great people

Cons

There can be a lack of mentorship for people early in their careers, although your experience will depend heavily on which group you are in. There are only 3 main levels of engineer with very limited group leader positions, making upward mobility limited.
