[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which places have the best environment - relaxed yet interesting or am I looking for the holy grail? Looking specifically at DoD, DoE and Army research labs.[/quote]

Science jobs....science is a big field.  There is a big difference between a physicist, chemist, geologist.  From what I can tell, outside of the DoD and DOE labs, most government positions are Program management rather than science.  The science is done by the contractors.  DOE and DOD labs do have technical performers (scientist), but they still have to bring the work in house.  NRL does not give you a pot of money and say "do good things".  You need to write formal proposals for the money, and hope they get funded.

I am not sure how NASA works, or some other locations.  FWIW, I am a scientist (PhD) level with 29 years experience, and am finding federal funding to be worse than I have ever seen it. Federal/ Federally funded scientific research is shrinking....

And science is not a relaxed atmosphsphere....[/quote]
