      Pros

      The Lab is a great place to be working towards your PhD. The facilities are of course top notch, and people are excited to contribute to Science, which make this a great place to make your teeth in Science.

      Cons

      While fairly protected at my level, I can tell politics do play a role at the Lab. Also, it is sometimes difficult to assess self performance as indicators are not available for student positions.

      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.
