"I have been there for two months. The commute is brutal, although we are teleworking for the most part. Command seems dysfunctional, the disparate pieces talk to each other and also talk about each other. Command is spread from Boston to Seattle."
"Good compensation, poor work life balance."
"The opportunity to develop your own research proposal and work with some of the most intelligent people in the world is a major reason that NRL is a great opportunity for any discipline engineer. I have worked with some great engineers and scientists during my time here. Very supportive of publications and patents."
"Worked for the DoD for 20 years, the overall experience was great and I would definitely work there again. The only reason for leaving was the mandatory relocation of my position every 3-4 years, with minimum inputs to my desires. Great opportunities for growth and for anyone that loves to travel with minimum family (children) commitments."
"Everyone's experience in the Navy will be different depending on the job they get."

"I've worked at the Naval Research Laboratory since 2017 as IT support. It is a diverse and unique organization. Somewhat confusingly organized. Getting to know the specific group you work for is important, and different groups can be wildly different work environments. The commute is awkward, based on the location. Also the fresh air from the Potomac is a welcome reprieve."
"The Navy is the greatest organization I have ever worked for."
"Excellent starting opportunity."
"Navy Reserve is a good opportunity for anyone who wants to be involved with the military, see the world or needs money for college."
"I have worked for the Navy Yard for one year and I loved the work I did. I would recommend the position to anyone who wants to get a real look at all aspects of the IT industry. I was exposed to every facet of IT from networking to cyber security. Now I am looking to move on to the next career move as my contract for the Navy Yard has ended."
"In my opinion I would say my company is a great place to work for."
"The Navy served it's purpose and it gave me the discipline and experience I needed to better my life. I do not regret joining at all, but I felt like, at a certain point, it was not providing any benefit to me."
"I worked with the United States Navy for 5 years. It has helped to sharpen me as a technician in the IT field."
"Excellent starting job but it is time to move on. Not the place to work if you have a family."
