I worked at ANL, which didn't do any weapons research, and loved it. Definitely had a lot of bureaucracy so if you haven't worked enterprise be prepared. Things can move slow. I knew some people at several other national labs and a few in DOD. I got the sense that it was the same over there as well. That said, it was hands down the most interesting place I've ever worked. I don't think it would have been nearly as interesting if I were a remote worker though. Half the fun was taking to the "lifers" there. Learning the lore of old experiments and asking them to show you around on lunch breaks.
