Pros

When I joined LBNL I was new to the job and to the country. It has been a great learning experience from a scientific and cultural point of view.

Cons

LBNL has a rather large campus, with many facilities but it lacks a child-care center and the prices of the only on-site cafeteria are rather high.

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.
