Pros

-Very cool technology -Diverse projects and experiences -Great location -Very secure position

Cons

-Management -Responsibilities added but no raises/ title changes -Somewhat stagnant Overall I did not have a bad experience working there and enjoyed many great minds and got to do many things I normally would not be able to experience at most jobs. However I did always feel like I had to watch my back and that I had to walk on eggshells many a time. I also felt like regardless of how much work I put in or how much I exceeded expectations, I felt like if I made any sort of small mistake or misstep I would get in quite a bit of deep water. Other than this feeling though, it was a great place to work with some very good people.

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.
