Sandia National Laboratories

"The owners treat women like it is the 1960s. When they do have a woman who excels, they sabotage the work to allow them to "save the day" and act like a hero. It is a very dysfunctional environment."

"There is a culture of respect. There are some people there subscribing to old values, but the population is largely accepting and encouraging of flexibility."

"Find a position where a woman is the manager. Otherwise, talk to a woman on the team you're considering before accepting the position."

"I love working at Sandia, and I feel fulfilled by the mission and purpose of the work. Sandia offers a flexible schedule, a variety of career development opportunities, competitive pay, great benefits, and support/networking groups for women and parents, among others. Most of the people at the Labs are kind, incredibly intelligent, and dedicated to their work. It is a great organization to be a part of. "

"Sandia is a great place to work. It’s flexible and the culture is very supportive of work life balance. Sandia has made a big effort to include women in management, and there are lots of opportunities for women. The only downside is that we are still in the minority, and in some technical areas there are many more men than women. I have always felt comfortable working with my teams (and haven’t noticed any negative behavior toward women), but I hope that Sandia moves toward more balance in the technical workforce. "
