Amazing people, lots of fun, and great atmosphere! There are always events that HR host for company. Picnics and BBQs over the summer and they even have races and other activities during the year.

Innovative enivornment with revolutionary research
Student Associate (Former Employee), Menlo Park, CA – January 23, 2013
I was blessed to work at SRI as a student associate. Although I only personally work with a Material Scientist, this experience was invaluable. For just an internship, I was given my own computer, my own office, and given a very nice welcome package which included the option of starting a 401K. As a scientist, I worked in a lab. The conditions were – more... not ideal at the time but the research was eye opening. As a non-profit, this company seems to always be on it's tiptoes but sources of money from the government were always a sure fire thing. Unfourtantely because I was in and out a lot (as a student at the time), I did not interact with management very much but when I did, they were always friendly and incredibly smart. The interactions between me and my coworkers were wonderful and if I had the chance, I would go back in a heartbeat. I'm not sure I'd ever be able to say the same thing about any other company I will work for in the future. – less

Great for older people
Biochemist (Current Employee), Menlo Park, CA – September 28, 2012
Not a good place to grow.

A lot of old people who come here to retire.

Dreary environment.

No growth opportunities.

The model non-profit
Software Architect - United States Army (Current Employee), Shrewsbury, NJ – July 31, 2012
Pros: excellent benefits and compensation
Cons: lack of significant presence on the us east coast
SRI International is a research and development think tank based out of Menlo Park, Ca. The culture is cutting-edge and embracing of new ideas and business innovations. This is reflected in the management style with the US government as the largest customer of services. SRI International's benefits packages and presentation is outstanding and thorough. – more... It is not uncommon to find co-workers both intelligent and forward thinking with a positive attitude to the work endeavors. – less

Research Associate II (Current Employee), Menlo Park, CA – May 23, 2012
I work with a small, close-knit group of people--my supervisor is the boss when she needs to be, but most of the time she treats us like we're friends. I've established a close relationship with my colleagues and we frequently go out for dinner after a long day at work.

Interesting work, challenging assignments and exciting breakthrough products
Director, Procurement (Former Employee), Menlo Park, CA – February 22, 2012
Pros: free cal-trans passes, above average salary and benefits, and a clean safe, collaborative work environment.
Cons: if you enjoy this kind of work, it doesn't get any better.
SRI believes in its mission and its people. The methodologies they employ in the workplace are progressive, the processes work well and the systems are refined and transparent. I loved my job at SRI and if not for a grave illness in the immediate family I would still be working there.
