“I almost always felt like I was both learning a lot and making useful contributions to the projects I worked on. There was a lot of opportunity to work independently and come up with my own solutions to engineering problems while still having more experienced engineers around to tell me things like "no, don't do that, that's a dumb idea and let me show you why and how to do it better" or "that's awesome, really easy to use, nice work Tim!" I liked that when something didn't go as planned, the criticism I got was constructive and that when things went well, the praise I got was genuine.”

“CRL is big enough for one to carve out a specific niche with excellent mentorship, yet small enough for that niche to make a genuine difference. There's little to no red tape and bureaucratic fluff to deal with. The culture here is phenomenal - everyone is eager to help and quite friendly. Machining, assembly, and other technician work is all done in-house, which is extremely helpful for strong feedback loops; one can learn about every step of the process from idea to product. The office is an open environment, making cross-department collaboration easy. ”
