Pros

1) Great place to work and collaborate on some cutting-edge research in fundamental physics 2) Nice people and shuttle service, great Bay view 3) Great visa support

Cons

1) Office infrastructure is not good for some of the divisions. 2) Very bad food truck availability, ongoing construction of canteen, no idea when will it come 3) Salary can be very different depending on the name of department, just add computation to any department and your salary could be 1.5-2 times higher than other postdocs.

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.
