Tell me about the National Labs /sci/
Specifically hoping for feedback on PNNL, but would love to hear your experiences at any of the labs
What's it like working there? Is there ever any difficulty finding projects (especially if you're promoted a grade level or two and your charge rate changes significantly)?
How is the Tri Cities area?
Any Directorates or Groups to avoid or seek out?
Job security for holders of B.S. vs M.S. vs PhD?
Salary/benefits compared to industry/academia?
Office politics?
Do you enjoy it?
Would you do it again based on your experience or would you pass for a different opportunity?
