SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory reviews

Low pay for the expensive Bay Area.

I was initially excited about the opportunity to work at SLAC and was particularly looking forward to collaborating with the team. Upon starting my position, I learned that the manager who originally hired me left the company two days before my start day, and I was not informed before I signed the contract with the company. I had two more offers simultaneously; if I had known this, I would have moved forward with my other offers. We had an interim manager for one month, and after that, the manager who came permanently was not part of my hiring team, and our professional interactions turned unfavorable. In our first one-on-one meeting, she disclosed that you are on probation. Strangely, she abruptly discontinued my training programs, and humiliating remarks accompanied her responses to my requests for assistance. Regrettably, my experience at SLAC took a drastic turn, resulting in the unexpected termination of my employment last week. This turn of events is disheartening, especially considering the factors that initially influenced my decision to join SLAC, including the hiring team and the company's overall reputation. I felt it was important to share this update with everyone wanting to join the company.
