ORNL has a history of successful research directions in materials science, neutron sciences, national security, nuclear, biosciences, and high-performance computing, among others. Theoretically it is possible to work on research in many of these areas, and individual scientists are very open to such collaboration. Pay is good relative to local cost of living, especially relative to most other national labs, but poor compared to industry. Promotions and raises are decent, though the lack of separation between research and management track means it is easy to become burdened with management at a relatively early stage. Good area to live in with many outdoor opportunities and fun mid-sized city.
Even the lowest level research scientists are exposed to failures to enable collaborations across internal organizations. Working on new collaborations between two divisions or directorates is so difficult that it often seems unwise to spend time devoted to exploring these new directions, which hurts innovation. So unless your work aligns well with the group and division you are currently in, opportunities will be limited and work will become stressful.
