CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are very high. Location is in the Bay Area.

Cons

Pay is low. No advancement opportunities for women. Manager was not technically competent but was leading a technical department. It really hurt the initiatives at Berkeley Lab. DOE currently headed by Rick Perry, who unqualified for working in energy, science, or nuclear weapons. A lot of researchers were leaving for other non-U.S. research facilities. Many employees were looking for other opportunities as well because of Trump. Parking is terrible.
