LBL is a special place. It's still managed by UC without the involvement of any other orgs (aside from the DoE). It's basically just another UC campus, but research oriented and federally funded. The other labs can be quite different, managed by LLCs that involve a few universities and some private companies.
Things might have improved now that Bechtel is out of the picture, but for many years LBL was hands down the best lab to work for, purely because of the management situation.
- dekhn 4y agoI wonder if the same thing can be said about Argonne (run by U of Chicago)? My manager at LBNL worked there because he was kicked out of one of the other labs (run by Batelle or Bechtel or one of those) for refusing to take a drug test. They said he'd fit in well at LBL- and he did.
