Lawrence Berkeley Lab reviews

- depending on the lab, you may be assigned grunt work - can get repetitive

For professional people in operations (includes writers and website managers) you can find yourself in a windowless office, working 50+ hours a week routinely and not seeing daylight. They’re trying to move to a telecommute culture but many managers still believe if you’re not on site, you’re not really working (a false concept, since the manager with windows a couple of floors above never sees you anyhow). There are potentially wonderful education/training opportunities, but my experience is that manager is unlikely to approve requests because it might interfere with work. Oh yes, chronic under-resourcing of non-scientist staff. If you’re creative and have initiative to draw boundaries early on, while demonstrating how effective you are, this can be handled. Be careful of health impacts, though!
