I went to school in New Mexico and had really mixed feelings about the culture around Los Alamos and Sandia.

There are a lot of brilliant people there both in terms of science and project management. However, the best person I knew got driven out. But I think also a lot of nepotism and a security clearance culture that filters out really interesting people and leaves behind the dangerously milquetoast.
