Can be fulfilling if you can carry the weight - Assistant Staff MIT Lincoln Laboratory Employee Review

Very challenging with a diverse technical portfolio

salary increases flatten out during your career

Historically a very stable job, interesting work, great people

There can be a lack of mentorship for people early in their careers, although your experience will depend heavily on which group you are in. There are only 3 main levels of engineer with very limited group leader positions, making upward mobility limited.
