"Overall great place to work, but there are not many women in leadership roles. It still has a mentality focus on men but they are working to change that in the culture and industry of STEM. Since it is a government contractor you still have the "military" influence in the day to day working structure and that men dominate leadership. They work to change it but it can be harder to speak up and influence peers in meetings especially if you are a women leading the meeting with all men. "

"My manager has been great. He understands work life balance and wants the best for his employees. He wants you to grow in your weaknesses and strengths and for you to follow the career path you want. I've decided to move on from working here and relocating to Nashville, TN and my manager has been more than open to supporting this for me. He has given me great recommendations and ways to find the best career when I move. Ultimately he sees my success as his success. "

"Make sure your manager supports you. If s/he doesn't, find someone who will and move to that department, or figure out how to make peace with the fact that you will make zero professional progress."

"I worked here a number of years ago, was gone for quite a while, now back for about 12 years. Much progress has been made since my first experience, especially with work schedule flexibility and the number of women in management positions. A lot of women work in science and engineering positions. The number of women in management is improving as women work their way up (the current President and Lab Director is a technical woman promoted from within, a first for a national lab). In the day to day work environment women in my area seem to be treated equally. There are some lab-wide programs to give women networking and mentoring opportunities."

"Some within the company seem to truly be dedicated to the recent corporate diversity and inclusion efforts. However, the majority seem to have little interest in these initiatives and/or don't have reason to take them seriously. Support from and seeing women at the highest levels of leadership is a plus, however the nature of 'the culture of STEM' is such that it can sometimes be difficult. Including a lack of diversity in interviews and hiring in my division."

"It has improved over the years, mostly due to grass roots efforts. It is a highly competitive environment and difficult for technical women be accepted and considered for teams, more as a result of implicit than explicit bias."
