Productive, fun, and tiring, to summarize.
Room for growth, collaboration with many kinds of scientists and engineers, inclusive of differing cultures, LGBT-friendly.
Most of the workforce is working from home except for vital staff. My dept and section bas been flexible with time off and gives me interesting projects.
I have been a technician for about 5 years and I enjoy what I do, but there is no career path for techs, unless you are a "favorite". Techs are grossly under paid.
It is a very cool place to work if you like high energy physics.
