The worst company that I have ever worked for - Anonymous employee Sandia National Laboratories Employee Review

Pros

The pay is above average for the area.

Cons

I was offered and accepted what I believed to be a position on pay with the one that I left, but (contrary to my actual job description) my position is more in line with that of an assistant. Before receiving my security clearance, peers and managers referred to me as unclean. I received poor training. I have received multiple conflicting instructions. I have tried to discuss these issues with my manager, but he either cuts the meeting short or takes an offensive position and talks over me to prevent me from conveying my concerns.

Pros

Great work life balance. The pay is wonderful, but I also am a remote employee, which the labs are moving away from, or it seems like. The health insurance is also good compared to other places.

Cons

Remote employees don't get the same salary bumps as local employees

Pros

People are so kind and always willing to walk you through anything technical. Depending on your clearance you may or may not be allowed to bring your phone into the building tho!

Cons

Systems Engineering (my task) is a lot more documentation review and management then actual getting your hands dirty (prototyping, testing, etc.) engineering. Not up my alley as much.
