      Thank you for your review. We have a large site here at SLAC and it can take some time to get your bearings. We highly recommend connecting with colleagues through our Employee Resource Groups and through Slack channels - these provide many opportunities to meet with people around similar interests, attend events, and volunteer in outreach.

      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.
