Pros
SLAC is a part of Stanford University and this comes with prestige. The bay area is beautiful and the SLAC staff are passionate about the work they perform.
Cons
The CIO, ACIO Services and EA are inept, autocratic, and destructive individuals. Instead of performing the important roles they were assigned they spend their time crafting Powerpoint presentations for the CIO to use to mislead Lab leadership and business managers to advance their myopic goals. They have produced countless presentations and roadmaps but haven't consulted with their customers or the Computing staff in this process. It is like they are creating their own reality because they don't like the one we have. The trio is absent any leadership skills and are failing again and again with opportunities to engage with staff to actually make things better.
