      Pros

      It had a great research-like environment that was low-pressure and conducive of learning. People were generally friendly and there were a decent number of opportunities to network with other interns.

      Cons

      The work is really hit or miss. I had a great time with what I worked on but another intern had nothing to do. If you are going to work here, you should make sure you have some idea of what you'll work on and where you'll fit before you agree, if possible.

      Thank you for your comments. We are proud of our internship programs and happy that you a great time. It is recommended that students communicate with their managers to make sure that they are getting work that is as close to what they want as we can offer. We also have an excellent program coordinator who can advise students while they are here. We hope that you will keep us in mind for full time employment when the time comes.

      Pros

      Interesting work, nice mix of research and application, opportunities to publish and develop prototypes. Reasonable work/life balance and decent benefits.

      Cons

      Salaries are not competitive with industry and raise structure does not provide monetary incentives for performance. Need to be have two incomes to comfortably support a family.

      Thank you for taking the time to review the Lab. Retention of top staff is always a concern. Statistically we do well but there are often individuals who we hate to lose. We actively review our salary structure and look for areas where more attention is needed. Many of our staff find that the work-life balance and exceptional resources overshadow salary difference. Nonetheless, we continually work to improve.
