      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We agree that there are amazing people and science at SLAC. We are sorry you feel the culture has declined. Culture and engagement are a big focus at the lab. We are also working on new initiatives based on the results from the Respectful Workplace survey conducted at the end of last year. We hope you will participate and continue to give candid feedback.

      Pros

      The opportunity to contribute to high-impact scientific research while collaborating with a dedicated, intelligent team was truly rewarding.

      Cons

      Workload consistently increased while resources simultaneously diminished, creating a lack of backup personnel for key roles, and significant operational silos between departments hindered cross-functional collaboration.
