I worked at Lincoln for about 4 years and am now at Raytheon IDS. Honestly, for a first job Lincoln is a great place. Why won't you say where you took a job? I came to Lincoln with a BS in EE and was part of their Lincoln scholars program for my MS. The lab is a great place to ease your way into the working world. It is so focused around the technical work and you get to learn a lot while not having to deal with the process bs you'll find in industry. Technical talks occur daily and the number of conferences held there is astounding. You also have access to a terrific library in Lexington, and can get materials from campus on the shuttle that goes back and forth. They are great at training engineers and sending them out into industry. A large percentage of the people I work with at Raytheon have worked for the lab at one time or another.
I was very impressed with LL. Nice people, chill environment, and great facility. It's not a commercial atmosphere where there's high pressure (except for deadlines) and it seems like a more stable job. Benefits are great too! To me it seemed like a place to retire. What exactly made you switch to Raytheon IDS?
I don't prefer to say where I accepted for a variety of reasons. One of them being getting unsolicited resumes from people I don't know.
