I worked at Argonne National Lab for two years as a web developer for a few projects (https://afleet.es.anl.gov/home/ https://afleet.es.anl.gov/home/, https://energyjustice.egs.anl.gov/ https://energyjustice.egs.anl.gov/). The people I worked with were super smart in their fields, but were pretty bad at writing code / handling data outside of Excel so they usually hired interns to help with code-related stuff. Some of the divisions had full-time software developer teams, but I was the only software developer in mine. The pace was extremely relaxed, deadlines were not tight at all. I worked remotely, but came in to the office a few times a month. The campus is beautiful, as it is right inside a nature preserve. Everyone there is doing scientific work, so it feels like a real scientific think tank atmosphere and I loved it.
