Tough environment for a postdoc
Postdoctoral Appointee (Current Employee), Livermore, CA – May 12, 2013
The research itself is great and the resources for performing the work are second to none. The culture is really tough, however, and there seems to be little incentive for the PI's to treat postdocs with respect or to care about the postdocs' future employment opportunities. I imagine as a PI or manager this might be a wonderful place to work. However, – more... as a postdoc, it is really quite bad at times. – less

Learned a lot as a student.
Student Contractor (Former Employee), Albuquerque, NM – April 24, 2013
I learned quite a bit as a contracted student intern. Being surrounded by knowledgeable people is a great advantage when working on difficult projects. It was also nice having access to cutting edge technology and a wealth of printed resources.

Great place to be...
Office Management Assistant (Current Employee), Livermore, Ca – February 25, 2013
Pros: on site cafe, on site medical center, summer-time farmer's markets, professional development courses
Cons: below industry pay
If the only thing you are concerned about is pay, this is not the place to be. But, if you want to work with some brilliant minds, care about being able to work and see your family, want room to grow and are looking for an organization that cares about the community within which it serves and priming their employees for success, then this is definitely – more... the place for you. – less

People environment
not for what I was hired for (Former Employee), Albuquerque – February 20, 2013
Pros: clean building, some nice people
Cons: skirt chasers, sandian's treat contractors like dirt, except if you are the person being chased..then you are given "the world"
While I was there, there is a lot of "skirt chasing," even the married ones do it. Linked to the skirt chasing comes your promotions or whereever/whatever you want in the company.

very interesting work related to national security
Postdoctoral Research Associate (Current Employee), Livermore, CA – August 28, 2012
Research projects are very interesting with a broad range of subjects. It is possible to work on a variety of projects, but some initiative is required to get involved in projects outside the primary project to which you are hired.

Decent Company to work for
Software Analyst (Current Employee), Albuquerque, NM – August 5, 2012
Pros: wonderful, talented people
Cons: location
As a staff augmentation contractor you fill positions at Sandia where extra hands are needed on projects. You are exposed to great deal of variety and have the opportunity to learn many new things. The attitude at Sandia is very up and coming in exploring the latest technology and its many uses.

Hard work pays off, while the government looks over your shoulder.
Postdoc (Current Employee), Albuquerque, NM – April 14, 2012
Excellent work/life balance, salary and benefits. Strong management commitment to workplace equality and openness. Best part of the job is the ability to develop new ideas. Yearly training requirements, limited ability to carry personal electronics and cell phones and weekly time-charging can become tiresome, but that's life.
