Pros

Good salary; generous education program; nice views from the site

Cons

No sense of mission; no interest in seeking economic benefit of taxpayer-funded research; a lot of snarky, unpleasant people; lack of onsite parking; unsafe walkways; leadership shows little interest in operational staff/achievements (versus scientific staff); areas/divisions are siloed; the least woman-friendly place I have ever worked; everything done at the last minute.

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.
