Good but a little bit tired
Intern- Student Assistant (Former Employee), Berkeley, CA – April 25, 2013
good environment for research, close to the nature, when you tired you can enjoy the good view. But also a lot of persons come by give presentation, talk current energy iuuse, you won't feel isolated.
Project Administrator (Former Employee), Berkeley, Ca – September 19, 2012
Pros: december shut down
Provides training and tools needed to perform your job. Part of the University of California so I was able to continue to stay in the system, maintin my services years and transfer among the organization.
Software Developer (Former Employee), Berkeley, CA – September 12, 2012
Doing research as a software developer at LBNL. It's a nice place to work, your co-leagues are all Masters / PhD and really smart people. The working pace is really fast and you feel like you learn / produce something each day. However, since it's a research institution, it doesn't pay as well as the private firm.
Project Coordinator (Facilities) (Former Employee), Berkeley, CA – July 20, 2012
Pros: small fee for coffee (starbucks)
Cons: can only work 1 year as a contractor
I really enjoyed working as a Project Coordinator. Working on several projects made it challenging and a great learning experience. Having to work with other employees outside LBL and coordinating/planning meetings with them made it even more enjoyable. I make any job part of me...my ability to work with others, being resourceful, being the go to person – more... and wanting to be the best Project Coordinator. – less
Scholar Researcher (Current Employee), Berkeley, CA – May 4, 2012
Being surrounded by so many experts in the energy sector is a great opportunity to learn day a day and being an actively asset of the up to date technological researches in the world. Good and calm atmosphere.
Cons: slightly less base pay than the private sector
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), is a great place to work with lots of challenges. You are working around the brightest and best minds in Science, Engineering, and Operations (Human Resources, Accounting and Finance, Environment Health and Safety).
If you are looking for a challenge with stability and work/life balance, this is – more... a great place to work! – less

Fun and a great place to work while in school
Undergraduate Student Assistant (Current Employee), Berkeley, CA – April 10, 2012
a lot of independent work, fun and friendly coworkers, learned many useful molecular techniques of broad application
Administrative Assistant III (Current Employee), Berkeley, CA – April 2, 2012
Pros: location, benefits, job security
It is a very good place to work. The laboratory is run by the University of California, Berkeley, so whatever benefits UC employees receive, laboratory employees receive.
Researcher (Current Employee), Berkeley, CA – March 28, 2012
Pros: working with the birghtest minds
Cons: dissapointing caffeteria (except for their coffee)
LBNL is a place where new discoveries are made every day of the week. The advances in technology you can find in the store are partially a result of the work that goes on in this lab.
Overall a very friendly and open atmosphere, where asking questions is valued and even encouraged.
