A great step back to the 80's - Avis employé Researcher Army Research Lab

ARL is a step away from total dysfunction and decades old technology. If you've ever been a fulltime employee elsewhere in the Army or DoD you will see that the whole agency functions in a "backward" manner. Things that are a "big deal" at ARL or considered some sort of safety, security or other violation are encouraged at other Federal and DoD laboratories. Management approval on anything takes weeks beyond what it should and supervisors here to not try to develop employees.
