Pros

It is mind-blowing to see innovations and new technologies happen at the LBNL. Many renowned scientists and professors are working and making changes to the world. It is very honorable to work with such people and though salary level is not competitive, there is good benefit.

Cons

The laboratory is not like industrial corporation. There is very strict deadlines (there should be for any corporations), and if not met, fundings are at stake.

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.
