Pros

Good place for scientists to do research.

Cons

HR department is so political and so much bureaucracy that if someone higher up within the department does not like you, u will not get promoted or even get let go for no apparent reasons.

Pros

Beautiful location, you oversee the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and SF. Research environment, great bridge for academics to transition to a more applied research. Benefits quite good

Cons

Low wages, especially in the scientific staff. Basically no career progression. Offices are a mixed bags (some departments have brand new buildings, others have very old buildings). Do not rely on their immigration services to get anything beyond temporary work visas.
