Great work environment. Get to work on a wide variety of projects with enthusiastic coworkers. As a university lab, there are discounts for continuing education at Penn State. Fantastic benefits.

Difficult bureaucracy at times. Can be confusing to handle contracts with customers. But this is not uncommon in this field.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
